A woman, on a visit visa, has gone on trial at a Dubai court after she used force and threat with a residency officer at the airport.
According to the public prosecution records, the 33-year-old Egyptian woman used inappropriate language with the officer and mocked him in front of other travellers standing in immigration queues. She would not obey his instruction to move to another queue. The woman raised her voice and caused disturbance, while pushing him in a disrespectful and demeaning manner.
She denied at the Court of First Instance a charge of assaulting an on-duty public officer.
The incident took place on February 12.
The officer from the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners' Affairs said during investigation that he was on duty at 1am at the Arrivals Hall, Terminal 3 of the Dubai International Airport. "I was organising the queues when I spotted the woman standing in a queue which was not designed for foreigners. She would not obey my instructions to move to the allocated queue and rather became angry."
The woman also told the officer: "You are here to serve me. You will be sorry."
The visitor created disturbance and embarrassed the officer in front of other travellers.
"I then ordered her to go with me to the lieutenant-in-charge. On the way to his office, she pushed me several times and it also happened in front of travellers. She then verbally abused me in front of the lieutenant. I filed a complaint against her," the complainant recounted.
Another residency officer told the investigator prosecutor he was on a counter when he spotted the defendant refusing to obey his colleague and rather insulting him. "She would not move to another queue that is allocated for foreigners and residents, but yelled at my colleague, causing disturbance. She pushed him later, in a way to disrespect him, as he was taking her to the lieutenant," the witness said.
The visitor will be sentenced on June 26.
