On vacation you can either respect the national law or face the consequences
A dozen women have been detained by Dubai police after posing for a nude photo shoot on a balcony in the center of the city on Sunday afternoon in broad daylight. According to local laws, they are facing six months behind bars.
A video of the women went viral on social media, with one resident of a Dubai tower filming the group from another building in the Marina neighborhood. The video quickly spread throughout the internet, and then the local police department got involved.
Dubai’s law enforcement stated that anyone who violates the country’s law on lewd actions and debauchery could be punished with a six-month jail term or a fine of 5000 dirhams ($1,300). For the organizers, the punishment could be even more severe, with a guaranteed prison term.
“Dubai Police warns against such unacceptable behaviors which do not reflect the values and ethics of Emirati society,” the statement said.
What about the person taking the video and distributing this?
For many westerners we would see this photo shoot of naked women on a balcony as nothing, but in a Muslim country like the Emirates this violates their strict laws.
The choice though is simple, break the national law of the country you have chosen to visit, then face the punishment.
