Dubai has longest list of banned substances
by Tamara Walid on Monday, 09 June 2008
The UAE has the longest list of banned substances for travelers entering the country according to a report from Prisoners Abroad, the UK's Guardian newspaper reported on Monday.
The Gulf state’s list of banned substances includes drugs such as codeine and many well-known anti-depressants, which can result in jail if unaccompanied by a doctor’s written prescription, the newspaper reported.
Dubai airport has installed new drug-sensitive equipment that is capable of detecting a trace of a drug on a shoe, the Guardian said.
Fifty-nine Britons were arrested in Dubai last year on drug charges.
