A mother from Kent, England, and her young daughter were jailed in Dubai for three days – where she was allegedly denied water and forced to clean toilets – after she admitted to drinking a glass of wine on the incoming Emirates flight from London.
It’s illegal to drink alcohol or be intoxicated in public in Dubai, one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates.
Ellie Holman, a 44-year-old dentist originally from Sweden who resides in Britain with her husband and their three children, was arrested on July 13 after landing in Dubai with her 4-year-old daughter, the Press Association reported.
Upon arrival in Dubai, an official reportedly told Holman she needed to return to the United Kingdom immediately because of an invalid visa, at which point she took out her phone and started filming the encounter, according to human rights group Detained in Dubai.
Holman said the official was “dismissive and rude” to her, and asked if she had been consuming alcohol. She admitted to the official that she had a complementary glass of wine on the Emirates flight.
Holman, unaware that it was an offense to film the encounter, and illegal to drink alcohol, was taken into custody, Detained in Dubai reported. The mother and her daughter also had their passports and electronic devices confiscated.
They were just looking for an excuse to molest a Western female.

While it is her fault for wanting to drink, the airline company should not even be serving alcohol in the first place
She's actually a Swedecuck, so that makes her an even bigger moron
Levi Barnes
Why is this even relevant, unless it's an egregious attempt to flex the status which used to come along with motherhood? tl;dr respect the laws in other countries instead of boo-hooing when you get caught out being a criminal.

I'm no fan of the dune monkeys, but in this case they did what we SHOULD be doing to them. This entitled bitch who falsely believed in the #notallmuslims lie tried to treat the encounter like she was having an argument with a Trump supporter. She's lucky they didn't use red hot tongs to weld her twat shut.

It is to be feared, user. Not treated like a difference of opinion.

Happened in midair, not in the country. The law doesn't apply there.

the law takes into account bac; traces of alochol remained in her system after the flight was over.
