He should not have lied. In those countries, if you want a fair trial. You have to confess to your crimes. If you don't confess they will slap you with the highest possible sentence. There is a lot of cases of people getting busted with narcotics in UAE. They confess and plead guilty and ar jailed for 1 year at most, in the case of cannabis, hashish, etc…
I think there should be a petition for the UK to cease all travel to Dubai. It's not worth the risk. I really hope this young man can get back home and pursue his dreams.
I was Nearly sentenced to 10years in Dubai for having 50x50mg tramadols for back pain. It’s 0% drug tolerance In Dubai
15,000? She's a busi girl!
Why is it being mentioned as just CBD oil?? Its cannabis oil it messes you up
Don’t go to foreign countries, particularly Muslim countries and expect to carry any type of substance which can be interpreted as a drug. This is an awful case, but this is their laws. We don’t expect people to criticise our laws here in the UK. Also maybe if we had tougher penalties in the UK in decades past, we wouldn’t be in the mess we currently are in with regards to drug abuse.
Just for that. ..smh
Hmmm another example of misjustice on this earth
Boris be like …as long as my nuts get emptied i do not care at all in any way
absolute joke. …. fuck going Dubai…. never will I ever go to that country
I really hope this poor young man is freed, insane situation
When I hear these stories it makes me want to stay in the UK and fearful of travelling. All it takes is for someone to set you up, plant something on you in those countries and you’re screwed.
You don’t just throw away someone’s life like that over some stupid shit! This is not right !
This is an awful thing to happen to Billy I understand there is a protest outside Parliament this Saturday have no idea what time though
Let’s bomb the shit outta them
5x longer sentence than what they got for abusing over a hundred 11 year old British girls in the UK
And people and celebrities still advertise the middle east a place for westerners. Erm no thank you.
My nephew Xola Msomi is still stuck in that desert for something similar
I don't care about him getting 25years, He should respect laws in other countries. He got off lucky they could have stoned him to death if they wanted.
excuse me while i step outside and try to navigate stepping over the HUNDREDS of boobie business cards soliciting 'massages' that are outside my door and scattered all over the sidewalks everywhere, as they have been, DAY AFTER DAY – for years! but we're not supposed to notice or comment so, i guess they don't really exist. and neither do the dozen or so 'massage' spas between the two nearby mosques. who approves all of this? i'd rather see medical marijuana than this disgusting rubbish. which is more MORAL, do you suppose???
This is outrageous
