Asian Arrested for Filming UAE Man Beating Indian Driver

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

An Asian man has been arrested for filming a video that has gone viral on the Internet showing a UAE citizen beating up an Indian delivery van driver in Dubai, local media reported Thursday.

The Asian, whose nationality was not known, was arrested for defaming the UAE man who beat up the Indian driver, the reports said.

"No one has the right to take pictures of someone and publish them without his permission," Dubai police chief, Khamis al-Mazeina, was quoted as saying by the daily Emiratalyoum.

He said the Asian video maker was arrested following a complaint by the family of the Emirati man.

The footage of the beating shows a man of small posture, dressed in a traditional white Thawb, attacking the Indian driver of a delivery van following a minor car accident in Dubai.

Media reports said the attacker had also been arrested after the video surfaced online, although the victim of the assault lodged no complaint with the authorities.

The UAE is home to millions of foreigners, mostly from South Asian countries.

No doubt that Palestinian getting best human rights in Lebanon for example. not to mention those who been thrown out during the Iraqi invasion.
You Arabs made racism a profession and blame the Jews for that.
Wonder how "Democratic" are the Arabian countries around Israel, not to mention the new Switzerland of the Med: Like Syria or Iraq.
Where is Iran? what happen? they run out of gallows and hanging trees in stadiums and streets? or Saudi Arabia with the well know human rights specially for women. No doubt is that the oil making the world blind to the Barbarian acts.

Gulf news have posted a picture so assume Dubai police will be sending them to prison too. Infact the entire population of the uae post video footage and pictures on social media and in public forums everyday, so I suggest the Dubai police concentrate on the violent crime committed by an emirati official during Ramadan rather than making an example of someone who exposed the truth, because we all know that an Indian man would not be able to come forward to press charges against a local emirati.
