La_Dolce_Vita Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 The issue isn't just about the treatment but the backward laws that got him arrested in the first place. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merkin Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Dubai was built using slaves from neighbouring countries. Human rights do not exist there. The whole place reeks and is a wretched hive of scum and villainy. And now it's bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it couldn't. Summery justice has no place in a modern civilised society. Simple solutions for simple people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manshimajin Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 When in Rome....personally I'd give Dubai a miss. They seem to be taking the physical and verbal abuse of females quite seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
