A 21-year-old New York City college student has been sentenced to prison time in the United Arab Emirates over an altercation at a Dubai airport, an advocacy group said.
De Los Santos was traveling back to New York from a trip to Istanbul with a friend when she had a 10-hour layover in Dubai on July 14, according to Detained in Dubai. While going through security, a security officer asked the student, who recently had surgery, to remove a medical waist trainer suit she wears around her waist, stomach and upper chest, the group said.
"They either want her in jail or they want to pressure her into making a compensatory payment to them," Radha Stirling, CEO of Detained in Dubai, claimed in alast month. "The government of Dubai should stop this type of corruption by banning government employees from being able to accept out-of-court settlements for criminal complaints," but does not mention the risk of detention.
