| The Dubai Court yesterday sentenced an American citizen to two-month imprisonment to be followed by deportation for insulting a policeman on duty. The case dates back to April 8, 2003, when the policeman, who was carrying out his duties in the departure hall at Dubai International Airport, asked the 29-year-old Steven to open the suitcase he was carrying. The suitcase contained several mobile phones and computers whereby he was asked to present the relevant documents verifying his ownership of the items. Steven said he had no such documents and began insulting the policeman. |
