Malak Hussein Khusro, who was caught with opium hidden in his intestines, escaped the death penalty for lack of evidence that he traded in narcotics.
The Supreme Federal Court upheld the verdict of the Sharjah Court of First Instance which ordered 10 years in prison and a fine of Dh50,000 followed by deportation. The verdict was given in accordance with the Islamic Shariah and articles 1/6, 48 and 63 of the UAE Anti-Narcotics Law.
Police acted on a tip-off that the man was in possession of opium at Sharjah and was looking for someone to purchase the drugs. An undercover police agent was sent as a decoy, and Malak was caught red-handed.
Physical examination revealed that Malak had stashed away the opium in his stomach, and they were in three small plastic packets. The Public Prosecutor prepared a charge-sheet stating that the appeal was incontestable. It showed the arrest and search carried out by the police had complied with criminal investigation procedures.
