Victim outcry as 'torturer' made head of Interpol

Radha Stirling , Interpol expert and head human rights group Detained in Dubai , said the election was a 'near fatal blow to Interpol's credibility'. She added : 'It is outrageous that an institution originally founded to uphold justice and due pro cess has chosen as its president a man implicated in serious crimes from a country that is renowned for exploiting Interpol's role as a means to extort and intimate innocent people .

Interpol Red Notice Abuse: Philip Wood, QC discusses Radha Stirling - Undeterred in Dubai

Philip Wood, QC - The Times "The relentless energy of the campaigners at Detained in Dubai continues to amaze as they take on one case of alleged abuse and miscarriage of justice after another. The organisation’s attention is now also engaged in countering the misuse of the Interpol notice system, including allegedly by banks such as HSBC Bank Middle East. Radha Stirling, the group’s chief executive, seems fairly blasé about the risks involved challenging powerful state bodie

Qatar human rights violations liable to be sued in UK

Joseph Sarlak, Ranald Crook and Jonathan Nash - Detained in Doha When foreigners move to Qatar, it’s usually on the basis of an invitation, a business opportunity or a job. Doha doesn’t have the same “lifestyle appeal” that Dubai has built up; but for expats, a few years in a hot climate, perhaps with a Sheraton club membership, doesn’t sound all that bad. Most invites are extended to industry experts, particularly in the construction industry, project managers, architects, l

Outspoken Khalaf Al Habtoor calling for boycotts of companies against Khashoggi killing Khalaf Al Habtoor, a household name in Dubai, is lesser known in the US despite having teamed up with the Hilton Group in the States and internationally.

CASE OF 4 BRITONS ACCUSED OF “INSULT” HIGHLIGHTS RISKS OF FALSE ALLEGATIONS IN UAE

Dangerous. Easily abused Islamic laws make Dubai a minefield for the Western visitor The CCTV footage shows a cordial encounter as a group of friends approach a woman whom they think they know. When they realise that she is someone else, everyone is polite, and the encounter breaks up, with each going on their way. But this is Dubai, a place where nearly any interaction can become a criminal case. Back in September, four friends from the UK were on holiday in the UAE; while s

Abusive HSBC Red Notice against British national revoked by Interpol

When British citizen Robert Urwin was stopped in the Ukraine on an Interpol Red Notice, he thought it had to be a mistake. Subsequently learning that the Interpol listing had to do with a bounced cheque in Dubai twelve years earlier, Urwin was sure that there was a misunderstanding. He had left the UAE in good standing, with no debts and no payments pending on his bank account. The cheque in question turned out to be for an uncharacteristically large sum of money, and it had

Now Hakeem is free, legal action against Interpol is a must

We congratulate Hakeem Alaraibi upon his release from Thai custody, and the rejection of Bahrain’s request for extradition; and we salute Thailand for making the reasonable and humane decision to protect a political refugee from being returned to the persecution he fled years ago. There was never any doubt that Hakeem’s life would be in danger had he been sent back to Bahrain, and Interpol should have never allowed that country to request a Red Notice against him. The trauma

Australia needs to pressure Interpol to withdraw the politically motivated red notice, Thailand to decline extradition and Bahrain to withdraw their extradition request.

Indian media has reported a Dubai court has ruled to extradite British national Christian Michel to India over charges of bribery and corruption. Last July Indian officials traveled to the UAE to request Michel be handed over into Indian custody, in an apparent attempt to override international protocols on extradition.
