Nang dahil sa Grape Seeds

A colleague of mine sent me a forwarded email about the grape seeds that caused the imprisonment of a Filipino man in Dubai. Apparently, the man was made to confess that the Grape Seeds that were found in his bag were that of Marijuana. The wife of the Filipino man ruled out that they were planted by the DXB Airport Authority. The Airport Authority on the other hand stand firm on their investigation.

I have no way of confirming the authenticity of the circulated email. The email could be another urban legend. However, even if this story is an urban legend, it still teaches us a lesson to always be on guard. We all know that we’re in an Arab country and laws here are tough. They do not make any excuses when they implement their laws. I am sorry about the misfortune of the couple but as they say, laws are laws.
