Abu Dhabi taxi passengers appeal verdict over robbing driver
Abu Dhabi - The incident occurred after the men hired the taxi driver for a trip to a 'quiet location' in the Bani Yas area.
Official court documents stated that the Pakistani men were caught after the cabbie complained to the police that they robbed him of cash, including his own money and that of the company, after threatening to hurt him with a knife.
The incident occurred last year after the men hired the Asian taxi driver for a trip to a "quiet location" in the Bani Yas area of Abu Dhabi.
The police had arrested the men after getting information and their descriptions from the cabbie. Investigations revealed that the men took the money from the cabbie and then fled the scene.
It was not clear in court documents how much cash the men stole from the taxi driver. The court also ordered that the men be deported after serving their jail sentences.
The duo have challenged the ruling at the Abu Dhabi Appeals Court, claiming they were "wrongly convicted".
They denied the charges in the court.
The trial was adjourned until January 28.

We can examine the soundness of our bridges or the smoothness of our highways. But what if we used a different standard? We should judge a nation by a simple metric: the number of weeping parents it allows, the small caskets it tolerates
