A 23-year-old prisoner allegedly sodomised another prisoner under threat in the Central Jail, the Dubai Criminal Court heard.

Second Lieutenant Saif Khalifa testified that on April 8, 2011 while he was on duty in the Central Jail, he received information from the operations room that a prisoner, TJ, had been sodomised by other prisoners.

“When I asked the victim about the crime, he was very scared and did not want to talk about the attackers. He said four prisoners came to the ward when he was alone and threatened to beat him if he did not submit to their desire to sodomise him. He told his mother about the incident who informed his lawyer who reported it to the police. The victim did not want to proceed with the complaint and only wanted to be kept away from the attackers by transferring him to another ward. His clothes were taken for testing. When questioned, all the accused denied the crime,” he testified.

Forensic reported sperms of only one of the accused, so the prosecution filed the accusation against him.

The court adjourned the case to March 14.
