س: السلام عليكم، بناءً على مشكلة مع شخص معرفة، تلقيت اتصالاً من كفيل الشخص (حسب ادعائه ومع ذكر اسمه) طالبًا معرفة طبيعة المشكلة والطلبات لحلها ولكن لم نصل لنتيجة منصفة، وبناءً عليه أشار المتصل بأنه يعمل بدائرة التحري وأنه يعلم بمكان إقامتي وباستطاعته إحضاري. علمًا بأن المتصل ليس الكفيل الحالي حسبما أفاد، وهو يعمل فعليًا بدائرة التحري. الاتصال صادر من هاتف محمول. لا توجد أي قضية ضدي أو أمر ضبط أو تعميم. كيف يمكن مقاضاة هذا المتصل؟ وهل يمكن مطالبة النيابة بتحصيل تسجيل المكالمة من شركة الاتصالات المعنية باعتبار ذلك دليلاً؟ شكرًا!

Q: Hi Is it illegal to record people's conversations here in the UAE, especially if the 2 people that are talking realize they are being recorded by another person who is not there and decided to leave their phone in the room and have it recorded? What is the legal action I can take here in UAE?

Q: Good Day! my concern is that I had a relationship with a boy and he went on vacation. As he requested to help him with his work during his vacation period, he gave me his laptop and told me his company would use some of his files remotely. I only have to open the laptop and keep it connected to the internet. They have done their work from time to time and I have seen they did the voice recording. When I checked, they voice-recorded the daily activities of my room. I asked my BF and he said he didn't know about this and he asked his IT staff. IT Staff mentioned that as per his managing director; 's instructions, they did it and if anything happens he will hold the responsibility [I have a screenshot of this conversation]. Since I'm really worried about my privacy, I would like to know what I can do about this matter and how I can file a case against them. I have all the voice recordings, his laptop, and a screenshot of their conversation. Thank you.
