An incident took place in UAE where a young girl was attacked by a man posing as a plain clothes officer; he asked her 2 come 2 the police station when she & her male friend didn't have a driver's license 2 show. He sent the boy off 2 get his license and asked the girl to accompany him t the police station. Took her instead to an isolated area where the horrendous crime was committed. The law [which most of us are not aware of] clearly states that between 6 pm and 6 am, a woman has the right to REFUSE to go to the Police Station , even if an arrest warrant has been issued against her. It is a procedural issue that a woman can be arrested between 6pm and 6am, ONLY if she is arrested by a woman officer & taken to an ALL WOMEN police station. And if she is arrested by a male officer, it has to be proven that a woman officer was on duty at the time of arrest. It is good to know our rights !, please convey this to as many women as you can and also to the men to help them protect their wives, sisters and mothers.
Thanks Poone for bringing this frightful incident to our notice. Can't believe this kind of gruesome acts are happening right here in UAE also, which - I personally was thinking - the safest place on mother earth. Thanks once again for posting this educative and cautious message. Vishy
