Q: Good morning, I am writing from Europe. My fiancé is a Nigerian citizen. He lives and works in Ajman since 3 years. He is in trouble since last Monday. He works in night shift. He was asleep in his room when police went there and checked everybody. My fiancé doesn't have a valid ID card. The police arrested him at a police raid. He has a valid passport with a valid UAE visa. Since he was arrested, I know nothing about him. I would like to know if an invalid ID card can be a reason for arresting someone over there. If yes, how long will he stay in prison? How can I get any information about him?

Q: A relative of mine has been arrested in Dubai. We reside in Pakistan and we don't know where he is or what crime he has been charged with. How can we find out more details of the case or contact him?

Q: Dear Sirs, I am writing to ask for your kind advice and assistance to help our brother, Artur Ligeska, a Polish citizen who is detained in prison in Al Sadr. He is terminated since October in terrific conditions and he does not even know what are the accusations. He has been already twice in a court, however, the given public defender has never appeared. What is more, the case was in Arabic without an interpreter. Artur was given some documents to write under pressure without translations. Polish Embassy in the UAE, as well as Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has already risen questions to the legal authority to get an access to case files and find out why is he terminated, however without any results. Could you please investigate the case and help our brother to get out of this prison. We are looking forward to your answer. With regards Mariusz Ligeska

Q: Good day, I am B. P. from India. My brother has been missing for ten 10 days now in Dubai. He was working in a job under a contractor [-----].
