Three accused of threat to burn
detention centre
In Dubai three men were accused of threatening to
set fire in the ports police station detention center.
The prosecutors said that the
defendants were two locals and the other old man with no identification or any
document.They wrote a threat to the Yemeni policeman telling him that they will
set the detention center on fire if the policeman didn’t move them to another
detention center. One of the Emirati suspects said he didn’t do such a thing like
that.
The judge Mohammad Majid Mohammad
delayed the case until the old man and the two Emiratis suspects are brought to
court
The three men said they wrote a
request to the Yemeni policeman asking him to move them to other detention or
they would set a fire to the port police detention center according to the arraignment
sheet.
The policeman testified that he was
the duty officer on that day and he found a paper written by the three suspects
saying that they would start problems and set fire in the detention if they weren't transferred to another detention center and he took the request to the director
of the police station. According to the prosecution records, one of the
suspects admitted that they submitted the written request to be transferred and
he also said that they did it on behalf of a fourth person who was scared to do it
because he didn’t want any problems with the police.
