[Morphine Prince 110,031]

A British tourist is facing a three-year jail sentence in Dubai after putting his hand out in a bar to stop himself spilling his drink and touching a man’s hip, according to his representatives.

Campaign group Detained in Dubai said Jamie Harron, from Stirling, central Scotland, was arrested for public indecency. Harron is said to have since lost his job and has spent more than £30,000 in expenses and legal fees, having already been stuck in the country for three months.

Sorry but the story sounds so sugarcoated, no surprise there since it’s published by British media on a British man in a foreign country. 

I’ll just say if somebody touched me without consent (drunk or not) he deserves everything he gets.

It's Dubai. Taking into consideration the culture and how many people are there, this isn't surprising it would happen in 1 instance

I legit got sad reading this..

What 

I know about the rather horrendous track we in the ME have had with this issue, but what? Kissing on the cheek is common here. Hell the UAE  even have a traditional nose touch greeting. What is this nonsense?

you think he deserved to go to jail for 3 years and losing his job for accidentally touching a man and drinking alcohol?

they also moved his court date without telling him

Literally men kiss on the cheek when they greet one another in the Middle East. How absolutely bizarre and stupid

This is why I cringe every time I see people go to Dubai.
