Torture tape implicates UAE Sheikh

[LockJaw]

This is good. The sub-human status many people get in the Gulf is finally seeing some light.

A video tape smuggled out of the United Arab Emirates shows a member of the country’s royal family mercilessly torturing a man with whips, electric cattle prods and wooden planks with protruding nails.

..

In a statement to ABC News, the UAE Ministry of the Interior said it had reviewed the tape and acknowledged the involvement of Sheikh Issa bin Zayed al Nahyan, brother of the country’s crown prince.

..

Over the course of the tape, Sheikh Issa acts in an increasingly sadistic manner.

He uses an electric cattle prod against the man’s testicles and inserts it in his anus.

At another point, as the man wails in pain, the Sheikh pours lighter fluid on the man’s testicles and sets them aflame.

Then the tape shows the Sheikh sorting through some wooden planks. “I remember there was one that had a nail in it,” he says on the tape.

The Sheikh then pulls down the pants of the victim and repeatedly strikes him with board and its protruding nail. At one point, he puts the nail next to the man’s buttocks and bangs it through the flesh.

“Where’s the salt,” asks the Sheikh as he pours a large container of salt on to the man’s bleeding wounds.

The victim pleads for mercy, to no avail.

The final scene on the tape shows the Sheikh positioning his victim on the desert sand and then driving over him repeatedly. A sound of breaking bones can be heard on the tape.

..

The torture victim was identified by Nabulsi as an Afghan grain dealer, Mohammed Shah Poor, who the Sheikh accused of short changing on a grain delivery to his royal ranch on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi.

**The UAE government, in its statement, says the matter was settled privately between the Sheikh and the grain dealer, “by agreeing not to bring formal charges against each other, i.e., theft on the one hand and assault on the other hand.” **

The bold part would be laughable is everything before it wasnt so horrible.

^^ Here come defenders of Angraiz...

Arab Sheikhs have nothing to with Islam, their islam is limited to Holidays where they can party and drink... their laws are against the international labor laws, their system is their to maintian slavery and westerns powers who are horrified with Talbanic version of Islam, easily turns a blind-eye to these laws and provides these sheikhs/govt with all the assistance and means to do what they are doing...

What a double standards..
