BBC article with his interview. We made the front page :)
Currently we're on the front page for the Middle East section, too.
He's gonna be so grumpy when he finds out :D
If you missed it, my interview with the BBC can be heard here (at around 38 minutes). |

When I spoke to Cat yesterday, he told me that there was a rumour going around that a bunch of detainees at the airport facility (where he's at right now) were about to be transferred to the prison, which is 40 miles outside the city in the middle of the desert. They have decided to test his urine again, and we're still awaiting the drug test results, so surely they wouldn't move him to the prison? He seemed to think otherwise, but couldn't go into detail, inferring that there is some really suspicious stuff going on.
The rumours were correct: Cat is being transferred to central prison, tomorrow morning. He called me just now to tell me this, and that he will not be able to speak to me while he is in there.
This is what is of particular concern:
His test results won't even be available until Monday. Why would they be moving him to the prison before the results are even back?
...unless they've already decided that he his guilty.
Pretty much our worst fears are becoming reality.
Minor offenders have their own section of the prison, but recently two Italians were locked up with the felons because they ran out of room (read: rapists and murderers in a prison with a well publicized AIDS surge).
Needless to say I am gutted and I am very, very scared. We need to get these people out of Dubai. |
