A U.K.-based human rights organization has urged Britons living in the United Arab Emirates to not report incidents of rape or sexual assaults following the case of a British woman who was allegedly gang raped in Dubai and after reporting it was arrested and charged with "extramarital sex" charges.
[...] The organization Detained in Dubai, which provides legal assistance to foreign people arrested in the UAE regardless of their citizenship and financial status, has already launched a petition at Change.org, urging authorities to take action on the matter.
[...] Radha Stirling, a U.S. citizen founder of the charity, said to The Independent that following the recent case – as well as a number of other shocking incidents in recent years where rape victims have been detained in the UAE – she advises British tourists not to report crime.
Human rights organizations have asked the UAE monarchies to match their country's great economic growth and tourism potential with changes to its legal system to improve and develop the legal rights and process.
From guide2dubai.com:
In 2013, the total population of UAE was recorded to be 9.2 million. Out of the 9.2 million, the expatriates contributed to around 7.8 million with the Emirati Nationals holding a population share of 1.4 million. [...] South Asian countries alone contributes to around 58% of the total population of UAE. The western population shares to around 8% of the overall population of the country.

Runaway busted for having the Google on his Internet. News at 9.
Also, Breitbart is not Stormfront. It appears to be better described as the American rights answer to the American lefts constant shitposting and Nazi finger pointing. You know, like your comment.
I dislike shitpost reporting, but responding to the other side copying your sides style of BS with 'Now their even bigger Nazis' poo flinging isn't really persuasive.

Well, not yet. I hear that they are on the down-low about the merger and IPO, to avoid getting in trouble with the FCC. I don't know, but maybe they are waiting for Jan. 21. More sympathetic "regulatory environment", doncha know!
