Hi,
Pursuant to your query, any commentary posted (anonymously or not) on any social website in the UAE may lead to criminal charges for defamation.
Statements which insult a person's honor or the reputation of their family will also be subject to penalties at the more severe end of the scale.
You have the right to file a criminal complaint at the police station.
