Anti-discrimination law enacted across UAE

I hope this law is actually implemented and puppet regimes in the region follow suit…

Discrimination against any resident will invite fines ranging from Dh50,000 to Dh2 million, offenders to be jailed for six months to 10 years.

Spreading hate will now be deemed a crime and discrimination against any resident will invite fines ranging from Dh50,000 to Dh2 million. Offenders will also be sent to jail for six months to 10 years under a new decree issued by the President, His Highness Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

The law, No 02 of 2015, applies to any form of discrimination on the basis of race, ethnic origin, religion or caste. It also criminalises any act that incites religious hatred or insults religion, either verbally or in print or online. Any person who calls others ‘infidels’ or unbelievers can be punished under the law…

Re: Anti-discrimination law enacted across UAE

looks so good on the paper...i very much doubt that it will ever be implemented fairly. i hope it's worth more than the paper it's written on.
