Developer denies Dubai arrest
March 2, 2009 - 4:38PM
A development company part-owned by James Packer denies one of its employees has been arrested in Dubai over a bribery scandal, saying he is simply acting as a witness in the investigation.
Three property industry heavyweights are among 13 Australians under arrest in Dubai over the property-related allegations.
mantronic, keep your eye on the ball, yeah?

Re: 13 Aussies arrested in Dubai collapse
ah, you're forgetting the aussie blindness. basically, nothing happens in the world until it has happened to an aussie. an example being the bali bombings. horrific thing to happen, a lot of innocent people were killed irrespective of their nationality/religion/ethnicity/whatever, yet somehow, the aussie media only managed to capture that "australian's were killed" in the event and outpoured all this grief about it. even the indochine tsunami was reported that way. i'm not sure the aussies have this particular identity blindness cornered (the yanks come to mind) but they've got it pretty well perfected. (by the way, chapelle corby was 'innocent' because she's an aussie 
and those sinister indo courts had it in for her. *sigh* - sorry, should stop now before i start sounding like mantronic! )

Prison is not an Islamic punishment to begin with. Besides, you would be ridiculous if you think they'd actually hold someone indefinitely without a trial unless they were in Guantanamo.
