Detained in Dubai has secured the removal of another client’s name from the Interpol database after being subjected to an abusive Red Notice at the request of Qatar. Interpol's system of Red Notices allows member countries to request the arrest and extradition of individuals who are wanted for prosecution or to serve a sentence. However, the system has been frequently misused and abused by some member countries, particularly Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and other Gulf States, to pursue individuals in foreign jurisdictions over financial disputes or debts, using Interpol as a tactic of intimidation, harassment, and extortion. Detained in Dubai explained that the client, a British national who had been working in Qatar, had been charged and convicted in absentia for a bounced cheque. However, the cheque was written as security against a bank loan, which she had been paying off regularly for up to four years. The bulk of the loan had already been repaid when the client was abruptly laid off from her job, but she was informed by Qatar National Bank (QNB) that her final salary and parting bonus would cover the remaining balance. Despite these assurances, the security cheque for the total amount of the loan was wrongfully submitted for payment and inevitably bounced. “ The terms of the loan agreement clearly stipulated that our client’s employer was liable for the outstanding balance ,” explained Radha Stirling , CEO and Founder of Detained in Dubai, “ But QNB attempted to cash the security cheque for the full amount of the loan, without registering a full four years of payments; and they did not sort the issue out with our client’s employer. Instead, they opened a police case against her after she had already departed Qatar, and secured a conviction in absentia, followed swiftly by the issuance of a Red Notice on Interpol. This exact scenario has become so frequent from the Gulf States that many jurisdictions around the world no longer regard Red Notices issued on behalf of those countries as credible. Nevertheless, being listed on Interpol is tremendously disruptive and our client was indeed detained in Mykonos, Greece, when authorities discovered the Red Notice against her. She was forced to undergo a judicial review for possible extradition, but the Greek court ultimately dismissed the request for lack of merit. Even after the Greek authorities fulfilled the purpose of the Red Notice, our client’s name was not deleted from the Interpol system .” Stirling said that this case highlights, yet again, the urgent need for serious reform in the way Interpol manages data collection and Red Notice requests, “ Interpol applies no scrutiny to requests for Notices, even from habitual abusers of the system, and they have no process for automatic deletion once Notices become redundant. It can take months for Interpol to review removal requests, during which time the wrongfully listed can expect to be treated like fugitives or terrorists any time they travel. It exposes them to enormous emotional as well as financial trauma, and by all rights they should be compensated ,” Stirling continued, “ We have successfully removed so many clients from Interpol’s database over inappropriate Red Notices that a clear pattern of Interpol abuse by countries like Qatar had become absolutely undeniable. In each of these cases, innocent people have been put through needless suffering, reputational damage, and legal expense, and the blame belongs both to the countries requesting invalid Red Notices, and to Interpol itself for accepting such requests. We are currently exploring a class action suit on behalf of this ever-growing pool of clients to finally achieve some restitution for the ordeals they have been through .” Over the past 15 years, Detained in Dubai has emerged as the most effective organisation for combatting wrongful Red Notices, boasting a 100% success rate in securing the deletion of inappropriate listings. CEO Radha Stirling has led the call for Interpol reform and founded a sister organisation dedicated to increasing Interpol’s transparency, accountability, ethical standards, and compliance with due process. “ We have developed a relationship with Interpol over the years ,” She explained, “ We are able to offer clients a reliable approach to avoiding a wrongful listing, as well as being able to ensure that any such listing will be appropriately dealt with if or when they do occur. Every time we successfully secure the deletion of an invalid Red Notice, while we are of course happy for our clients, it provides further evidence that Interpol needs to do better, and we remain committed to achieving the necessary reforms that will enable Interpol to fulfil its important function to international policing without victimising the innocent .” Travelling when you have a UAE or Qatar debt Nerve wracking: Will I be arrested at the airport?

The United Arab Emirates has long been a close ally of the United States, with the two countries cooperating on issues ranging from security to trade. However, since at least the outbreak of the Ukraine war, tensions between the two nations have been on the rise, largely due to the UAE's growing relationship with Russia and allegations of sanctions evasion. Radha Stirling , CEO of Detained in Dubai and Due Process International , however, says that the UAE has been drifting out of the US sphere of influence for years, and is building counter-alliances to establish itself as a major regional and international player, often disregarding American and European interests. “ The Ukraine war has only helped bring attention to the somewhat rogue behaviour of the Emirates in relation to its role as an official Western ally ,” Stirling explains, “ This rogue behaviour is not actually new; we have been cautioning about this for years but only recently are the US, UK, and Europe starting to take it seriously .” Despite a raft of US and EU sanctions in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the UAE has been strengthening its economic ties with Russia since the war began. Trade between the two countries has reached a record high with the UAE importing significant amounts of oil and gas from Russia, and Russian investors flooding the Dubai property market like never before. Capital flight to UAE undermines human rights by Radha Stirling, CEO of Detained in Dubai, Due Process International and host of the Gulf in Justice Podcast Understandably, the growing economic relationship between the UAE and Russia has raised concerns in the United States that the UAE is helping Russia to evade sanctions. In particular, there have been allegations that the UAE is facilitating the transfer of funds and goods to entities and individuals under sanctions. These practices pre-date the Ukraine war, going back to earlier sanctions imposed on Russia over their annexation of Crimea. “ The UAE has only paid lip-service to sanctions compliance ,” Stirling says, “ Money laundering is the biggest open secret in the Emirates, whether that relates to Russia, China, Iran, or other sanctioned nations, as well as to illicit money from international criminal organisations.” As oligarchs’ capital flows into UAE, human rights circle the drain | Radha Stirling | The Blogs With sanctions spurring an influx of Russian capital, Dubai’s economic power has grown and the country has behaved less and less like a Western ally In 2020, the US Treasury Department sanctioned several UAE-based individuals and entities for their alleged involvement in sanctions evasion. These included three companies and three individuals who were accused of helping a Russian company to evade sanctions by transferring millions of dollars worth of funds to it. The Treasury Department also accused two UAE-based firms of providing support to the Syrian regime, which is also under US sanctions, and is allied with Moscow. Earlier this month, the US imposed further sanctions against at least two more Emirati companies connected with Moscow. “ The increasing number of punitive actions by the US signals their recognition that the UAE has been playing a double game ,” Stirling explains, “ They have made gestures against laundering and declared their respect for the rule of law on one hand, but on the other hand, they are actively courting and welcoming investments from Russian oligarchs, deepening their economic and political partnerships with Russia and China, and establishing a parallel infrastructure of support through those partnerships to enable the UAE to defy and dismiss accountability to their Western allies; and the US is beginning to realise it ” The UAE has denied any wrongdoing and has pledged to cooperate with the United States in enforcing sanctions. However, recent developments suggest that the relationship between the two countries is becoming increasingly strained. Stirling says that the UAE’s “double game” has been going on for years. “ In 2019, the US imposed sanctions on several Russian companies for their involvement in the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Despite these sanctions, the UAE continued to facilitate the construction of the pipeline by allowing Russian ships to refuel in its ports . “When the Biden administration announced in 2021 that it was reviewing arms sales to the UAE, including a $23 billion deal for F-35 fighter jets and other advanced weaponry, the Emirates was unmoved. Just one month later the Wall Street Journal reported that the UAE had signed a secret agreement with Russia to cooperate on military and intelligence matters. The agreement was said to include a provision allowing Russian military planes to use a UAE air base, potentially giving Russia greater access to the Middle East, and access to American technology. In other words, the Emiratis completely disregarded US security concerns, even under the threat of a suspension of billions of dollars in weapons sales.” The news of the secret agreement sparked further alarm in Washington and prompted a strong response from US officials. Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned that any cooperation between the UAE and Russia that undermined US interests would have consequences. These actions have led to growing concerns among US officials about the UAE's reliability as an ally of America. In February 2021, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken cautioned that the US would " take a hard look " at the UAE's relationship with Russia and China, warning that the UAE's actions could have " serious implications " for its relationship with the US. Stirling notes that the UAE has also helped China evade US sanctions on Iran, “ In 2019, the US imposed sanctions on several Chinese companies for their involvement in the purchase of Iranian oil. However, the UAE continued to allow Chinese companies to import Iranian oil through its ports, in utter defiance of the sanctions regime.” Iran-Saudi Arabia deal a dangerous sign of Western retreat - by Radha Stirling Despite the fact that Saudi Arabia and Iran have been engaging in talks for several months, no one was prepared for the dramatic announcement that the two countries would resume diplomatic ties. The UAE has defended its relationship with Russia and China, with officials pointing to the importance of maintaining good relations with all countries in the region. In a statement to the Wall Street Journal, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation said that its cooperation with Russia was " based on mutual respect, shared interests and the pursuit of security and stability in the region ." However, Stirling explains statements like these simply reveal the UAE’s duplicity, “ The Emirates’ deepening ties with authoritarian governments hostile to the West undermines regional stability and security, and demonstrates disrespect and disregard for American and European concerns; so it appears that the ‘shared interests’ refers to subverting Western influence in the region.” As America increasingly recognises the belligerence of the UAE, it is likely to have significant implications for the future of their bilateral relationship. “ The US has been the UAE's closest ally and a key partner in its efforts to build a modern, diversified economy. If the rift deepens, it could lead to a cooling of relations between the two countries, potentially affecting trade, investment and security cooperation ,” Stirling notes, “ So the growing alienation between the US and the UAE is not just a matter of geopolitical concern, but also has economic implications. The UAE has been a key US partner in the Middle East, providing a critical hub for US military operations in the region and serving as a major market for US exports. In 2020, US exports to the UAE totalled $22.3 billion, making the UAE the US's third-largest export market in the Middle East. The US has not leveraged this relationship to their advantage, trusting that the Emirates would value relations enough to behave responsibly, but that is not what is happening. If the US does not enforce the UAE’s obligations as an ally, Abu Dhabi will use the power the US bestowed upon them and use it to thwart American interests .” Much of the world is ambivalent about the Ukraine war, and should be. by Radha Stirling, Expert Witness & Founder of Due Process International for The Times of Israel. UAE out-spends China to win influence Between the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, the Emirates Investment Authority, Mubadala, and the Investment Corporation of Dubai; the UAE’s Sovereign Wealth Funds control well over $1 trillion. That is roughly equivalent to the total assets of the China Investment Fund,...

The international community is questioning America's justice system for what is seen as unequal application of the law in New York’s indictment of President Trump. America is being branded as hypocritical for exporting “democracy” to “autocratic” states when a substantial portion of foreigners see America as weaponising its judicial system against political opposition. The American system is politicised to levels unseen in other democratic countries. Judges are appointed on the basis of their political leanings, Attorney General’s are elected on their political promises, and prosecutors go after targets who will enhance their political careers. We might think that’s America’s mess to sort out but the problem is when the US decides its jurisdiction doesn’t end at its own borders. America has legitimised its ability to indict foreigners for crimes committed outside of America by non-American persons simply because other countries allow it. There are numerous examples of America indicting foreigners and that’s fine, they can indict all they want. The issue is when foreign jurisdictions agree to extradite individuals to the US, people who have perhaps never even been to the country, people who have not committed a crime in the jurisdiction where they live and who haven't violated international law. Why should foreigners need to check local American laws before they act? In respect of Julian Assange, a simple test to determine whether extradition is unethical would be to ask what the UK would do if another country attempted the same. If China sought to extradite Julian Assange for exposing their regime’s violations despite him not doing it in China, would we allow extradition? No, and the same can be said for other allied nations. If I exposed Saudi wrongdoing from the US, would I be extradited to Saudi? No. Saudi, the UAE and China have no right to dictate that I abide by their laws. If you live in the UK and abide by British law, that is the only law you should be required to abide by. Sure, if you violate Saudi rules from the UK and voluntarily return to Saudi, you might be punished but the UK should not extradite you. The same can be said in Julian Assange’s case. The US should aim to persuade allied countries to make legislative changes that would support US policies but they should not be able to enforce their own laws onto people who do not live in America and who are not American.

When South Africa ratified an extradition treaty with the UAE in 2018, officials assumed this would fast track requests like the Gupta brothers who are accused of a number of corruption and fraud related crimes. The treaty put South African citizens at risk of extradition to a country that the United Kingdom refuses requests from due to the “real risk of human rights violations and torture” but it seems they are struggling to achieve the mutual cooperation they’d hoped for. UAE dismisses S.African request to extradite Gupta brothers | Reuters A United Arab Emirates court has dismissed South Africa's request to extradite Atul and Rajesh Gupta, brothers who face charges of political corruption, but the Gulf state said on Friday the extradition request could be resubmitted. “The decision to extradite wanted persons from the UAE has largely played out as political rulings in recent years”, says IPEX Reform founder Radha Stirling , an expert witness in Interpol and Extradition matters. "The UAE will extradite persons where there is a clear quid pro quo arrangement with the requesting country. We only have to look at the prompt extradition of several high profile parties to India following India’s illegal attack on US flagged yacht Nostromo to recover the escaping Princess Latifa, daughter of the ruler of Dubai." ‘Quid Pro Quo UAE’ using diplomacy to expand powers “It was nothing short of shocking to see the UAE hand over British national Christian Michel immediately upon India’s unlawful attack of a US yacht”, said Radha Stirling, CEO of Detained in Dubai and Due Process International, who represents Sheikha Latifa Al Maktoum... Due Process Newsroom & Media Centre British citizen Sanjay Shah’s extradition to Denmark was recently approved as part of an effort to show cooperation with Western nations following the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF’s) inclusion of the UAE on a “grey list” of financial crime monitoring. ‘ Denmark Faces Human Rights Issues over UAE Extradition Treaty’ says Expert ‘Denmark Faces Human Rights Issues over UAE Extradition Treaty’ says Expert Dubai court upholds Danish extradition of British businessman in cum-ex case - Global Investigations Review Dubai’s highest court has rejected Sanjay Shah’s appeal against his extradition to Denmark, where he is accused of stealing over $1 billion through a complex tax fraud scheme. Last year, an Australian citizen was wrongfully reported to Interpol by South Korea and although Interpol cancelled the Red Notice, the UAE agreed to extradite him anyway in the dark of night. On the other hand, high profile and wealthy wanted persons have been protected by the UAE to the point where the country is known to be a safe haven for white collar criminals and while it appears the country is seeking to improve its image in this respect, it should come as no surprise that the Gupta brothers will not be extradited at this time. The UAE denied the extradition, ruling that it had jurisdiction over the charges of money laundering while the other charges related to corruption and fraud were removed from the extradition request. South Africa is expected to lodge an appeal and the success of that appeal will likely come down to diplomacy rather than any legal due process. The UAE’s arbitrary enforcement of extradition laws means the country is not a safe haven for the guilty or the innocent.

Interpol plays a critical role in coordinating international efforts to combat crime, terrorism, and other transnational threats. However, in recent years, concerns have been raised about the potential for private funding of Interpol to unduly bias the organisation's neutrality. Private funding refers to financial contributions made by corporations, foundations, or individuals to support the work of Interpol. While private funding can be a valuable source of support for organisations, it also raises questions about the potential for conflicts of interest and undue influence. Interpol's mission is to promote international police cooperation and to assist in the enforcement of national and international laws. To fulfil this mission effectively, Interpol must be, and be seen as, an impartial and neutral organisation that operates solely in the interests of justice and the rule of law. UAE General accused of torture now head of Interpol While the position is largely ceremonial, Al-Raisi’s election has raised serious concerns among legal experts and activists globally. However, if private entities are allowed to fund Interpol's activities, there is a risk that the organisation's decisions and actions could be influenced by the interests of these funders. For example, a corporation that contributes significant funding to Interpol may expect the organisation to prioritise investigations that align with the corporation's interests or to avoid investigating matters that could harm the corporation's reputation. Another concern with private funding of Interpol is that it could compromise the organisation's transparency and accountability. Private funders may expect a level of influence or control over the organisation's activities in exchange for their financial support. This could result in a lack of transparency regarding Interpol's decision-making processes, as well as a lack of accountability for the organisation's actions. Furthermore, private funding could lead to a situation where Interpol is seen as a tool of powerful interests rather than an impartial law enforcement organisation. This could undermine the trust and cooperation that Interpol relies on to carry out its mission effectively. While Interpol has taken steps to strengthen its policies and procedures around private funding. For example, the establishment of a Code of Ethics that sets out the principles that should guide its relationship with private funders. The code emphasises the importance of transparency, accountability, and impartiality in Interpol's dealings with private entities. Interpol has also established a dedicated unit to oversee its private sector engagement. This unit is responsible for ensuring that private funding is used in accordance with Interpol's Code of Ethics and, theoretically ensuring that the organisation's independence and neutrality are not compromised by its relationships with private entities. Saudi Prince uses Interpol to prevent damaging witness testimony While these measures are a step in the right direction, they do not go far enough to address the potential risks associated with private funding of Interpol. Objectively, the organisation's Code of Ethics is not sufficiently detailed or comprehensive to provide clear guidance on how to manage the risks of private funding effectively. There is, for instance, no independent oversight of private funding or its use, and indeed, no external accountability mechanisms to investigate potentially biassed practices by Interpol that may occur as a result of that funding. To address these concerns, IPEX believes several measures could be implemented to improve the financial and operational transparency of Interpol. These broadly include: 1. Increased Transparency around Private Funding One of the primary concerns regarding Interpol's operations is the potential for private funding to unduly influence the organisation's decisions and actions. To address this concern, Interpol should increase its transparency around private funding by: a. Requiring all private donations to be disclosed publicly: Interpol should require that all private donations, regardless of their size, are disclosed publicly on the organisation's website. This will enable greater scrutiny of Interpol's funding sources and help to identify potential conflicts of interest. b. Implementing clear guidelines for the acceptance of private funding: Interpol should establish clear guidelines for the acceptance of private funding to ensure that the organisation's independence and neutrality are not compromised. These guidelines should cover issues such as the types of activities that can be funded by private entities and the conditions that may be attached to such funding. c. Establishing an independent oversight body to monitor the use of private funding: Interpol should establish an independent oversight body, with representatives from civil society, to monitor the use of private funding and ensure that it is being used in accordance with Interpol's guidelines and the principles of transparency, accountability, and impartiality. 2. Strengthening Oversight of the Issuance of Red Notices Another area of concern regarding Interpol's operations is the lack of oversight surrounding the issuance of Red Notices. Red Notices are a type of international arrest warrant issued by Interpol at the request of a member country. However, there have been instances where Red Notices have been used for political purposes, raising concerns about the potential for abuse. To address this concern, Interpol should strengthen its oversight of the issuance of Red Notices by: a. Implementing more rigorous criteria for the issuance of Red Notices: Interpol should establish more rigorous criteria for the issuance of Red Notices to ensure that they are only used for legitimate law enforcement purposes. This could include requiring member countries to provide detailed evidence supporting their request for a Red Notice and requiring that requests be reviewed by an independent panel of experts. b. Enhancing transparency around the issuance of Red Notices: Interpol should increase its transparency around the issuance of Red Notices by publishing detailed information about the criteria used to assess requests for Red Notices, the number of Red Notices issued, and the reasons for their issuance. c. Establishing an independent oversight body to review requests for Red Notices: Interpol should establish an independent oversight body, with representatives from civil society, to review requests for Red Notices and ensure that they are being issued for legitimate law enforcement purposes and not for political purposes. 3. Enhancing Public Accountability Finally, to enhance public accountability and increase public trust in Interpol, the organisation should take steps to enhance its public accountability by: a. Strengthening its engagement with civil society: Interpol should strengthen its engagement with civil society by establishing regular consultations with non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and other stakeholders to discuss issues related to transparency and accountability. b. Increasing its public reporting: Interpol should increase its public reporting on its activities, including its budget and financial statements, to provide greater transparency around its operations. c. Establishing a complaints mechanism: Interpol should establish a complaints mechanism to enable members of the public to report any concerns they have about the organisation's activities, including its use of private funding. d. Compensating victims who have been unfairly listed on Interpol’s database. The international community must remain vigilant to ensure that Interpol remains an impartial and effective organisation that serves the interests of justice and the rule. Interpol, therefore, must welcome input from the broader stakeholders who are impacted by how Interpol operates, if the organisation is to maintain credibility and the cooperation of member nations.

Originally published at Great Companies Great Companies: How did you get your idea or concept for the business? Radha Stirling: Since 2008, I have been asked by victims of wrongful Interpol reporting to assist them to clear their names and protect them from unfair extradition requests. ‘Interpol abuse’ became so prevalent that I found it necessary to open an organisation dedicated to saving victims from human rights abuses. Innocent individuals have been listed on Interpol, arrested, detained and tried for “crimes” that don’t even meet Interpol’s minimum reporting criteria. Journalists, activists, businessmen and credit card debtors have been locked up in Western nations at the mere request of countries who repeatedly take advantage of their membership with Interpol. It was a clear expansion of my human rights work to focus on lobbying for long term reform of the Interpol Red Notice and extradition procedures. Countries like the UAE, Saudi, Qatar, Bahrain, Iran, Turkey, Venezuela, South Korea, Russia, Egypt and China have been able to use the crime tool for their own personal vendettas. IPEX seeks to eliminate this practice. Great Companies: What are the various services provided by IPEX (Interpol & Extradition) Reform? Radha Stirling: IPEX seeks to advise, lobby, and achieve urgently needed reforms in Interpol’s internal procedures for data collection and the issuance of diffusion Notices, as well as to improve Interpol’s overall transparency and accountability so that the organisation’s crucial function in global law enforcement will no longer be compromised by abuse and manipulation; and so that no more innocent individuals will suffer the devastating consequences of being wrongfully included in Interpol’s database. IPEX provides Interpol removal and prevention services, extradition defence, reputation management and recovery from the damage such a wrongful abuse of the system can cause. Great Companies: What makes IPEX (Interpol & Extradition) Reform different from hundreds of other similar service providers? Radha Stirling: CEO Radha Stirling has been a leading voice against Interpol abuse, having pursued the call for greater Interpol transparency and reforms to end abuse by an emerging “authoritarian nexus” which misuses the Interpol Red Notice system to circumvent due process. With her 15 years experience, she is an expert witness in the field, who works with politicians, enforcement authorities, legislators and the media to ensure accountability within the organisation. Stirling is spearheading the first class action against the seemingly immune Lyon based agency. Great Companies: What were the struggles and challenges you faced and how did you overcome them? Radha Stirling: When taking on an international enforcement agency with diplomatic immunity backed by powerful authoritarian states, and with zero incentive to comply with United Nations principles in respect of human rights, it’s never going to be easy. Interpol has lacked not only transparency but also accountability. They have seen the abuse of their system and the suffering of individuals as ‘collateral damage’. They haven’t wanted to rock the boat of any member states (donors) in case it impacts their income. Campaigning for individuals and highlighting these ongoing abuses to the point where reform becomes a priority has been more than a decade’s work but with perseverance, change is inevitable. Highlighting case after case to the media and working with influential think tanks and political figures to push the issue with legislators is an ongoing project that has begun to bear fruit. Great Companies: How do you plan to grow in the future? What does 5 years down the line look like for IPEX (Interpol & Extradition) Reform? Radha Stirling: We’re working on some groundbreaking projects and lawsuits that will ultimately force Interpol to review protocols to protect individuals from abuse. As part of these endeavours, we are to recommend international protocols and procedures that member countries should adhere to when considering extradition requests. We anticipate such measures will reduce the prevalence of wrongful arrests, wrongful extraditions and human rights abuses. Great Companies: If you had one piece of advice to someone just starting out, what would it be? Radha Stirling: Choose a business that you’re passionate about, that you’re naturally drawn to, that doesn’t feel like work to you and that builds your sense of self esteem. Write down your goals regularly and practice self discipline. If you can imagine it, you can do it.

Despite the fact that Saudi Arabia and Iran have been engaging in talks for several months, no one was prepared for the dramatic announcement that the two countries would resume diplomatic ties. The international community was even less prepared for the fact that the Saudi-Iran deal was brokered by China. While the rapprochement between the two traditional rivals in the Gulf is objectively positive, and had been hailed as an epochal turning point in the region by world leaders; there are concerns about what the agreement – and the negotiations that led to it – reveals about the declining influence of the United States, and by extension, Europe, in the Middle East. The Biden Administration’s response to the announcement was conspicuously muted, with the US president saying good relations are “ better for everybody ”, and White House Spokesman John Kirby somewhat sheepishly assuring journalists that the US had been kept “ in the loop ” regarding the historic talks between the Saudis and Iranians. To put this blasé response in perspective: the United States has been the major mediator in the Middle East for at least the past 50 years; they have no fewer than 18 military bases and around 40,000 troops permanently located in the region. Just last week, US officials unveiled a new set of sanctions against Iran. A spokesperson for U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM, said earlier this month that “ Iran remains the leading source of instability in the region and is a threat to the United States and our partners .” Yet, the United States was simply “in the loop” on negotiations? It is undeniably worrying that deals are being struck without American or Western participation involving three undemocratic regimes to reshape the landscape of power in one of the most strategic regions in the world. This is particularly true when two of those regimes – China and Iran -- take openly aggressive postures towards the West, and the third – Saudi Arabia – has become increasingly indifferent to American and European interests. While of course everyone would like to see regional tensions subside, we must ask ourselves what fruits can be borne from the collaboration of three authoritarian regimes with notorious human rights records when there is no democratic moderator? I have long warned that an authoritarian nexus was being created between repressive states around the world, building a parallel and competing political jurisdiction outside the rule of law, excluding Western governments, and averse to democratic values and human rights. Heading Detained in Dubai and Due Process International , I have seen how countries like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, for example, circumvent or manipulate international protocols and institutions to pursue dissidents abroad, or to punish foreign citizens over petty financial disputes through abuse of Interpol; jurisdiction shopping for countries willing to comply with illegitimate extradition demands. I have supported clients detained in countries at the request of Gulf states or North Korea for alleged offences that would not pass muster in any Western court of law. I have seen how the UAE shunned diplomatic norms to coordinate a joint attack with India against an American-flagged private vessel in international waters by trading favours with the Indian prime minister over the phone. By cultivating this network of willing renegade regimes, these countries – like Iran, China, and Saudi Arabia – are building a support system that insulates them from Western influence. This can only further deteriorate the human rights conditions prevailing under each participating government. It is an informal alliance of impunity. In my work, exposing abuses in these countries to international, and particularly Western scrutiny, is often the only means for securing justice for victims; so, it is deeply concerning that the West is becoming increasingly side-lined. If the United States and Europe allow their importance to diminish in the Middle East, with China surpassing them in relevance; no amount of Western outrage over human rights abuses, torture, false imprisonment, and wrongful convictions will have an impact. China and the UAE: The Long Game China is playing the long game and if left unchallenged, will secure Beijing's control over the global economy for the next century. The US, the UK, and Europe cannot afford to simply be “in the loop” when it comes to the Middle East, particularly when those countries are hard-selling themselves to the West as destinations for investment and tourism. It is simply too dangerous for Western visitors if their home countries have no standing in the eyes of the Gulf States to prevent abuse. We can applaud the Iran-Saudi agreement as an historic turning point in the region, but what we will be hailing, if we are being honest, is the retreat of Western influence in the Middle East, and that is more ominous than inspiring. Tourism in Saudi Arabia too risky Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is a dangerous figure. Equal parts despot, dictator, mafia-style don, but also political and social reformer; he is attempting to bend the kingdom to his will...

A common question of former UAE expats and one that should be asked before travel: Countless people over the years have been arrested when transiting through Dubai for reasons ranging from credit card or utility debts to employer absconding cases and landlord disputes. Some of these debts have been more than 20 years old while others are simple administrative errors (payments not properly recorded). Some unfortunate travellers have been taken from their seats on the plane while in transit. Arrests occur whether the traveller clears through immigration, remains in the airport or even on the plane. Resolving these issues can be costly and lengthy and it is advisable to avoid transit altogether or to conduct a status check in advance. Contact policecheck@detainedindubai.org with any questions.

The recent arrest of Kaz Crossley has Dubai's drug laws and enforcement issues under the spotlight again. Detained in Dubai CEO Radha Stirling has navigated the UAE's drug laws for 15 years. Stirling said "the case of Kaz Crossley; arrested in Abu Dhabi en route to Thailand over allegations of possessing and consuming drugs in 2020 while reportedly in Dubai during the pandemic; highlights not only the Emirates’ zero-tolerance policy towards narcotics, but more so the expansive license granted to law enforcement in the UAE to arrest and prosecute individuals without substantial evidence." Love Island's Kaz Crossley reveals 'terrifying' ordeal in Dubai jail with no lawyer in 30C heat after drugs arrest | The Sun LOVE Island star Kaz Crossley was released from a hell-hole jail last night and said: “It was the most terrifying experience of my life. Detained in Dubai was founded following the arrest of Cat Le-Huy who was carrying jet lag remedy melatonin with him to Dubai. He was then accused of having “specs of marijuana dust” at the bottom of his bag, later proven to be untrue. Radha Stirling , CEO of Detained in Dubai has since represented dozens of foreigners who have been charged with similar drugs related crimes. People like Peter Clark who was earlier this year arrested for having trace elements of THC in his bloodstream from hashish consumed legally in Las Vegas before he travelled. Detained in Dubai’s endless campaigning for victims of Dubai’s antiquated drug laws resulted in positive legislative change in the UAE but the revised laws do not appear to have solved the underlying issues. “The changes in law have come after years of public outrage caused by the large number of wrongful arrests and prosecutions. We are pleased to see the UAE responding to calls for legislative change but the procedural issues will continue to cause unfair detentions”, said Stirling in a statement. Cat Le-Huy Stirling’s first case involving her friend, Cat Le-Huy , was pulled aside on arrival in Dubai for a random search that revealed he was carrying a legal health supplement known as “melatonin”. Melatonin is a supplement that assists with jet lag symptoms & is available legally over the counter in the United Arab Emirates. Regardless, Mr Le-Huy was subjected to a full strip search, urine tests & was, under duress, forced to sign a confession in Arabic, a language he does not understand and to agree with the Dubai authorities not to obtain legal representation. Le-Huy was held for seven weeks before legal and lobbying intervention expedited his release. Andy Neal Family man and veteran Andy Neal was rounded up by police because he was in someone’s phone contact list in their phone, a neighbour he barely knew. British veteran Andrew Neal has been acquitted by an Abu Dhabi court of baseless drug charges after over a year in prison. Neal was arrested in October last year as part of a large-scale police operation against a suspected drug syndicate, despite there being no evidence to substantiate his involvement. Police searched Neal, his car, and his apartment and found no trace of drugs, neither in his possession nor in his bloodstream. He was eventually exonerated after a year in Abu Dhabi’s notorious prison. Derrin Crawford Derrin Crawford , British air hostess, 23, was arrested in Dubai and held in notorious jail after police raid apartment of 'British' man she had just gone on first date with and find two cannabis joints. After public outrage, Derrin was released. Perry Coppins Veteran Perry Coppins was held in the same prison as Billy Hood after he was found with prescription medication for his PTSD. Coppins was held in jail for five weeks, released after Detained in Dubai’s intervention. British prostate cancer sufferer held in Dubai prison after customs officers said he had "too many pills" is freed - Mirror Online Maritime security officer Perry Coppins, 61, from Nottingham, was arrested when an official refused to accept his explanation he needed 'so much' medication for six months at sea Keith Brown Keith Brown was sentenced to four years in jail after Dubai customs officers found a tiny speck of cannabis, weighing just 0.003g, stuck to his shoe. He was reportedly freed a few weeks later. Peter Clark: Peter Clark was arrested after a blood test revealed trace elements of hashish in his system, but it was smoked outside of the UAE in Las Vegas, where the substance is legal. After Detained in Dubai lobbied the US to intervene, he was released.

Liverpool man jailed for two years in Dubai for cannabis | Daily Mail Online Connor Clements (pictured), 24, upped and left Liverpool earlier this year after getting 'stuck in a rut' in the UK.

The case of Kaz Crossley; arrested in Abu Dhabi enroute to Thailand yesterday over allegations of possessing and consuming drugs in 2020 while reportedly in Dubai during the pandemic; highlights not only the Emirates’ zero-tolerance policy towards narcotics, but more so the expansive license granted to law enforcement in the UAE to arrest and prosecute individuals without substantial evidence. It appears that Ms. Crossley has been detained based solely on a video posted on social media that was subsequently published in the press allegedly showing her inhaling an unidentified white substance over two years ago. It is not known, nor provable, what that substance was, nor even whether or not the video was actually filmed in Dubai; yet the mere suggestion that illegal drug use in the UAE took place in 2020 is sufficient for the Emirati police and prosecutors to apprehend Ms. Crossley, and very likely to convict her. This is the sort of evidentiary and investigative hubris that has seen multiple foreign nationals imprisoned in the UAE, based exclusively on accusations by dubious informants or police bias. British citizen Andy Neal , for instance, was falsely imprisoned for over a year on drug charges in the Emirates in 2018 without a shred of evidence. We have seen several other cases in which foreigners have been jailed for entering the UAE after consuming drugs legally in their home countries, after informants alerted police to screen them upon arrival for the presence of narcotics in their systems. While Dubai has decreased minimum sentencing for drug possession cases, the punishment is still up to the court’s discretion. Ms Crossley could be facing a significant prison term as well as a substantial fine, despite possessing no drugs, having no drugs in her bloodstream, and with no evidence of having committed a crime except media speculation and gossip. While in police custody, Ms Crossley is at risk of suffering harsh coercion and intimidation by the police, who typically force suspects to sign false confessions in Arabic under threat of greater punishment for non-compliance. Conditions in police station holding cells are horrendous, with individuals charged with non-violent offences housed side-by-side with hardened criminals and violent offenders. British national Lee Bradley Brown was killed in custody in 2011. If she is convicted, Ms Crossley will serve her sentence in Dubai Central Jail, which is notorious for abuse, torture, and severe over-crowding. Access to legal representation, communication, medicine, visits, and consular support are all seriously restricted – particularly for those charged with drug offences. Without intervention by the British government , Ms Crossley’s right to due process will be non-existent; with court proceedings held entirely in Arabic, with little or no opportunity to defend herself against the charges; and her conviction is a foregone conclusion. There is, of course, also the danger that Ms Crossley could even face additional charges under Dubai’s Cybercrime laws if authorities conclude that she posted video online of herself committing a crime; which could result in an even heavier sentence than the drug charges.

The Miss World pageant, the oldest beauty contest in the world, will be held in Dubai this year, according to organisers. The move is expected to ignite considerable criticism, given that the UAE trails most of the world in all metrics that measure gender equality and women’s rights. Radha Stirling , founder and CEO of Detained in Dubai , expressed dual concerns about the planned event, the date for which has not yet been determined; “ Of course we are troubled by the choice of the UAE for the Miss World pageant, just as we are troubled by any major event, celebrity, concert, or festival choosing to normalise and reward the Emirates by their presence. Such patronage deflects from the serious and systematic human rights violations and abuses that characterise the UAE justice system. Giving the Emirates these sorts of international events and endorsements plays into Dubai and Abu Dhabi’s marketing and propaganda campaign to misrepresent the UAE as a modern, progressive, and tolerant country while it actually remains rigid, autocratic, and in many ways, quite brutal. This makes the Miss World pageant, and any other such event, complicit in whitewashing the UAE’s abuses. But in addition, we find it disturbingly ironic that the pageant, whose slogan has long been ‘beauty with a higher purpose’, should opt to hold the event in a country that is so drastically repressive and disenfranchising towards women. Gulf States investing heavily in influence At a time when the UAE refuses to take calls from US President Joe Biden, hosts Russian President Vladimir Putin, and cuts oil production during a worldwide energy crisis; many observers wonder whether the Emirates is a friend or foe of the West. “ The UAE ranks 120th out of 153 countries globally on gender equality. A World Economic Forum report said it would take approximately 150 years for the Emirates to close the gender gap in terms of legal and socio economic rights .” Stirling notes the male-dominated nature of both the UAE legal system and culture as further proof that Miss World’s choice of Dubai is ethically inappropriate, “ The Emirates designates men as guardians for their female relatives ,” She says, “ Giving them the power to make life-changing decisions. A woman needs permission (usually from her father) to marry and a court order (from her husband) to divorce. Until just 2019, domestic violence against women was an acceptable disciplinary action by male relatives legalised by the UAE Supreme Court. While a recent law rectified this somewhat by stipulating that physical violence did not need to leave a mark to be considered abuse, the new law defines domestic abuse as any physical act, verbal abuse, or threat committed by a family member against another family member ‘that exceeds an individual's guardianship, jurisdiction, authority, or responsibility’, leaving plenty of room for men to justify violence and abuse before a reliably sympathetic judge. “Indeed, the culture of UAE courts is still notoriously regressive, and judges usually show leniency to those who commit domestic violence. A U.S. government report noted that the UAE ‘did not enforce domestic abuse laws effectively, and domestic abuse against women, including spousal abuse, remains a problem’, and there is little indication that the government is genuinely concerned about improving the situation.” Stirling points out that Dubai’s Ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has himself been incriminated in the torture and abuse of his own wife and daughters, and was denied custody by a British court during divorce proceedings on this basis . “ Princess Haya fled the UAE in order to sue for divorce and to protect her children, knowing that the system would be biased against her – despite her status ,” Stirling explains , “Both Princess Shamsa and Latifa attempted to escape the UAE, only to be apprehended and forced to remain, allegedly under violent coercion. If this is the situation for the highest status women in the Emirates, we cannot expect better for average women in the UAE. We were involved in the case of Hind Mohammed al-Bolooki , for instance, a mother of four children who was threatened by her father, uncle and brother when she sought to divorce her husband. She literally escaped barefoot from the family home through a window and hid inside a construction site until she found a way out of the country to seek asylum. “The UAE is hardly the right location for any event that purports to honour or empower women, and frankly, it is disgraceful that the Miss World organisers would let Dubai use their pageant to conceal and misrepresent the truly repressive culture and legal system that victimises women in the United Arab Emirates every day.” The United Arab Emirates is trying to rebrand its image by making changes to its 'antiquated' legal system Ms Stirling tells Luke Grant about the appalling abuse of women’s right in Dubai and the story of Princess Latifa, who fled Dubai in 2018. A British court ruling has found that the Princesses father arranged the kidnapping of the Princess and her sister. In a message she recorded prior to fleeing Dubai in March in what turned out to be a doomed attempt to reach the US via India, Latifa described the details of her detention in the UAE, her abuse, her earlier kidnapping as well as the kidnapping of her sister. She also said that she feared for her life.
