Dubai will deport a group of people who took part in a nude photo on the balcony of a high-rise building in the emirate, authorities said after criticizing the incident, saying it violates the principles of the United Arab Emirates.
The group of naked women posing for a photographer last week along a balcony in the Dubai Marina area was visible from neighboring buildings. Images from the photo shoot were circulated on social media.
“The people involved will be deported from the United Arab Emirates. “No further comment will be made on this matter,” said Dubai Attorney General Essam Isa Al Humaydan in a statement issued by the Dubai Press Office. The announcement did not contain details about the nationalities of the persons involved.
- A trans man who has given birth to two children talks about the “traumatic experience” of pregnancy
- He was acquitted of sexually assaulting his 9-year-old daughter because he suffers from dementia
- She wanted to hit the neighbor’s dog and shot her 5-year-old son
Dubai police announced on Saturday the arrest of those involved and warned against “such unacceptable behavior that does not reflect the values and morals of Emirati society.”
The Emirate of Dubai is a regional business and tourist hub where foreigners and visitors far outnumber UAE nationals. In the past, foreign nationals have violated the law of the UAE, a federation of seven Muslim emirates, for insulting public decency, consuming alcohol, and even kissing in public.
The UAE amended a series of laws in November on issues such as cohabitation, alcohol consumption and divorce, in a move seen as an attempt to make the country more attractive to foreign investment and tourism.
However, laws against immoral and unethical acts continue to exist in the Federal Penal Code. Dubai police also said that in the UAE there is legislation against the distribution of pornographic or other material that may affect public morals.\
