Dubai: Drug user receives reduced punishment after asking for clemency

A court of first instance judgment against a 28-year-old Arab man was modified by the Dubai Appeal Court. For the fourth time, he was charged with drug abuse. He received a two-year prison term and a Dh100,000 fine. The defendant showed up in front of the court, showed remorse, and asked for pardon. The court was satisfied with the evidence of conviction but decided to apply the most applicable law for the accused –Federal Decree-Law No. 30 of 2021 – which reduced the penalty to imprisonment for no less than three months and a fine of no less than Dh20,000. The court ruled to downgrade his punishment to a Dh30,000 fine. BKM/ Expat Media
