A woman’s ten-hour layover at the Dubai International Airport has reportedly turned into a four-month legal nightmare after an alleged altercation landed the traveler on the United Arab Emirates’ no-fly list and a year in jail in the foreign country.
“We thought it would be a more modern and futuristic city but we were completely wrong,” De Los Santos said. The experience left De Los Santos feeling “violated,” she said. She was later accused of “assaulting and insulting” Dubai airport staff, which she denies, saying she had only “gently touched [an airport employee’s] arm to guide her out of the way.”
“Even if Elizabeth wins her case, 6 months or more of being forced to stay in the country at her own cost while under the very real threat of imprisonment, is an unacceptable consequence of transiting through Dubai,” Radha Stirling, chief executive of Detained in Dubai, toldStirling reportedly believes that customs officials are appealing the decision, expecting that a court might award them some type of compensation.
