Q: Hi. My daughter was arrested from our residence in Dubai on 29 August for drugs. We had just got back from vacation two weeks prior, where she had smoked weed. She has spent a month in jail and yesterday was her hearing. She is sentenced to AED 5000 and deportation. We will appeal on Sunday. Question is, what are the charges for us to get her out on bail? Can the deportation be cancelled? We have been living in Dubai for 30 years and have nowhere to send her.

Q: Hi Sir, My friend and his friends have been caught for having drugs at their home, and police came and caught them at home. They took them to jail and the results have been positive.

So, it will be helpful if they remove the deportation and jail sentences for their career and future.
