While waiting for a cab at the Abu Dhabi International Airport, a 25 year-old American woman was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor for allegedly insulting the United Arab Emirates.
According to a government-ran newspaper, the woman has been in custody since February 23rd, meaning she has been held against her will for over a month now. Unsurprisingly, the story the woman tells is very different from the one painted by the government of the UAE.
Per the woman’s account, she was approached by two men she didn’t know who began to make unseemly remarks to her. Irritated by the men’s comments, she ignored them and before long, the strangers departed.
At some point, the government got involved and judging by it’s treatment of the woman, was distressed by her behavior rather than that of the men who approached her.

WISH WE HAD STRICTER LAWS!!!
SHE PROBABLY TOLD THEM TO GET LOST…
could happen in the US as well with political correctness gone amuck.
That’s Shiara law for you, women are third class citizens. Dubai is overpriced shopping center in the middle of the desert. Highly overrated.
You would think the American consulate would help her. You’re on your own in a foreign country.
GET HER BACK TO AMERICA, N O W !!!!!!
Serves her right for being there.
First question, what in the h— were you doing in Dubai anyway? Why would any American civilian set foot in The Middle East (except for Israel).
Yet in the USA insults about the government and stomping on the flag is allowed….but stupid liberals think we should have sharia law.
She must have forgotten there is no first amendment in Dubai and foreign women are not safe.
