Abu Dhabi Criminal Court will issue a judgement on May 15 in a case where two adolescents kidnapped another minor, assaulted him and forced him to urinate on himself, filming the entire ordeal.

According to the court documents, reported by Al Khaleej newspaper, the incident took place when two 16-year olds abducted a 13-year old after alleging that he harassed their sister.

The two minors forced the victim to accompany them to the roof of a building, where they severely beat him.

They then filmed him performing the humiliating act.

When the victim returned to his house his father reported the matter to the police who arrested the accused.

One of the defendants admitted that he wanted to humiliate the victim because he had exposed himself to his sister.

The father of the abducted child has, however, expressed his concern about the future of the two juveniles.

5 cases of drug abuse in Dubai schools this year

Major General Abdul Jalil Mahdi Al Asmawi, director- general of Dubai's anti-drug operations denied that a narcotic substance that tastes like strawberry was found in some schools in Dubai.

Asmawi said he is hearing this for the first time and urged promoters of such rumours to help the government’s fight against drugs by calling 800400400 or 04-266 1816. He also said awareness campaigns against drugs will continue in state schools and universities.

However, this does not mean there is no penetration of some schools by drug dealers. Sometimes they succeed in recruiting a weak student and through him try to promote drugs among his friends, he added.

He pointed out that only some drugs like ‘Tramadol’ and ‘Keptagon’ are being promoted in schools.

Major General Al Asmawi called on parents and school administrators, teachers and students themselves to report any suspect attempt to promote narcotics among school children.

He also called on students not to respond to promoters of narcotics and also to report anyone trying to lure them to the world of drugs.

He stressed that the government will handle all information in strict confidence with no legal obligations for the informer.

Major General Al Asmawi said there were five cases of drug abuse among school students last year.  In all the cases, parents were informed to get their children medically treated. Promoters of drugs were tracked down, arrested and brought to justice.

Major General Al Asmawi called on school administrators to organise awareness campaigns for the benefit of the students.
