The UAE Attorney General, Dr Hamad Saif Al Shamsi, has ordered a ban on posting of the recent “rape incident” video, prohibiting its circulation on all UAE media platforms in the interest of the public and in order to protect the privacy of the victim.
Dr Al Shamsi said that the Public Prosecution had completed its investigations to identify the truth in the crime, which attracted public attention after a video of the offence was posted on social media sites.
“The Public Prosecution ordered the pretrial detention of those accused of the offence, pending investigation, and legal measures have been taken against them in light of the evidence in the case and all its circumstances,” he noted.
