Dubai tourist imprisoned for tapping policewoman’s shoulder to ask for directions
To the fascistic hellhole that is Dubai, where a Kazakh tourist has been arrested for tapping a policewoman on the shoulder and asking her for directions to Dubai Mall. The 21-year-old policewoman tells the Dubai Court of First Instance how she was directing crowds of commuters at the Metro station, when the man known only as KB struck:
“Someone touched my shoulder. When I turned back, the defendant asked me for directions to the mall. I guided him and then asked him why he had touched me. I couldn’t understand his language. He touched my hand again. I pulled my hand away, then I asked him to escort me to the police office. He refused. My two colleagues presented their police IDs. He refused to go with them to the police office and, when they tried to take him, he assaulted them.”
We’re not told how he assaulted the two other police officers, and we cannot rule out his shaking their hands or patting them on the back.
K.B, who denies assulting anoyone, has been convicted of molestation, fined Dh2,000 (£350, $550) and imprisoned for three months after which time he will forcibly returned to the relative sanity of Kazakhstan.
