A British man has been charged under cyber-crime laws in Dubai after allegedly filming Iranian missiles over the city.

The tourist was detained under a law in the United Arab Emirates that prohibits publishing or sharing material that could disturb public security, according to Detained in Dubai, an organisation that provides legal assistance to individuals in the UAE.

Foreign Office officials are understood to be supporting his family.

Radha Stirling, Detained in Dubai CEO, said the man from London was charged along with 20 other people after police found a video of an Iranian missile strike in Dubai on his phone.

    Oh what a surprise 🤷‍♂️ Assholes acting exactly like they’re supposed to.

    I really don’t get how dumb humans are at a massive scale. Is it that hard to use a brain?

    “It’s just for everyone to feel safe” - Just shut up you propaganda puppet.

    I feel sorry for all the poor guest workers, children and people who are forced to live there, the rest deserves it. Leaving a (somewhat) safe country to live in a dictatorship is just dumb. And the world has a shit load of beautiful places to make holidays so no need to go to Dubai for that either.
