More prison sentences for Ohio brothers in Dubai

An Ohio veteran and his brother are appealing sentences that would see them behind Dubai jail bars beyond Christmas. Joseph and Joshua Lopez have been sentenced to four months in total after being drugged and robbed on a night out.

Radha Stirling, CEO of Detained in Dubai says “Joseph & Joshua are appealing a sentence that would see them locked up until early next year, fined and deported after being targeted by scammers while on vacation in Dubai. While local criminals target tourists with what appears to be the support of law enforcement, Dubai is far from the ‘safe tourist destination’ it’s marketed as.
