Dubai is also implementing reform

"A British tourist was beaten to death by officers in a Dubai police station after being arrested for swearing, it was claimed yesterday.  Lee Bradley Brown, 39, was on holiday at a £1,000-a-night hotel in the Arab state when he was thrown into a filthy cell.  Police sources say he was ‘badly beaten up’ by a group of police officers, leaving him unconscious on the floor.  Inmates told how they watched officers bundle him into a body-bag and drag him out of the building.  During Mr Brown’s six days in Bur Dubai police station, guards refused to give him enough food and water and did not let him see a lawyer, it is alleged."
