The Case of Xola Msomi - Drugs in Dubai, Police Stings & Stigma
Listen now
Description
The out of control Dubai drug crackdown has left hapless “nice guy” restaurant manager facing 25 years in jail. This episode focuses on Dubai’s desperate drug enforcement procedures which are seeing completely innocent foreigners thrown into desert jails on the basis of incentivised informants and staged sting operations, set up to win convictions that see police officers financially and professionally gain.  Desperate for promotions and financial benefits, officers and prosecutors have little regard for evidence and will push for prison terms, even where innocence is clear. Radha Stirling, founder of Detained in Dubai, talks with Xola's friends and family. www.radhastirling.com www.gulfinjustice.news www.detainedindubai.org
