Reading today’s Guardian and came across this.
Swedish dentist travelling with four year old daughter from London to Dubai had a glass of wine on the flight. Taken into custody as had an invalid visa and pending return to UK. Blood test then administered to test for alcohol. As a result of which apparently she and daughter detained for three days and made to clean toilets.
Released on bail, passport confiscated, remaining in Dubai pending hearing in a year.
Can’t do a link as reading a physical newspaper.
Anyone know any more about this? Is there more to it than a glass of wine on the flight and an invalid visa?
Just seems quite odd.
