Jodi Magi, 39, was sentenced for a cyber crimes offence after reportedly posting a photo on Facebook of a car parked across two disabled spots outside her Abu Dhabi apartment.
She has since been released from prison after an ordeal during which she claims she was “shackled at the ankles, strip-searched, blood tested, [and] forced to sleep on a concrete floor without a mattress or pillow”.
Ms Magi says she still has “zero idea” what she has done wrong. And, let’s be clear – it’s likely nothing.
She simply posted what she thought was a funny picture online.
But, as she was being hauled to an Abu Dhabi prison where she spent two days with “no access to toilet paper or eating utensils”, I bet she knew exactly what she’d done wrong.
If she had been living in the UAE for any amount of time the age-old UAE truism would have come back to her – it’s not what laws you break, it’s who you **bleep** off.
Wonder how Ms Magi would've fared in the UAE if she'd been wearing a F*ck You Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan T-shirt.
Like she had the liberty to post this pic here in Australia?
Who did she call on when she was in trouble?
