17 sentenced to death in UAE
DUBAI:
A court in the United Arab Emirates has sentenced 17 Indians to death over the killing of a Pakistani following a dispute involving illegal trade in alcohol, a newspaper reported on Monday.
The Sharia court in Sharjah, one of the smaller of seven emirates making up the United Arab Emirates, sentenced the men to death following DNA tests indicating involvement in the fatal stabbing, a UAE-based newspaper reported.
The sentence is thought to be the largest single number of people sentenced to death at one time in the UAE, a country dominated by the oil-exporting emirate of Abu Dhabi and its flashy but deeply indebted neighbour Dubai.
In the UAE, Sharjah is the only emirate where the consumption, possession or trade in alcohol is completely banned. In neighbouring tourist haven Dubai, known for its nightclubs and beach bars, it is loosely regulated.
According to the newspaper, three Pakistanis who survived the attack said that 50 people had assaulted them with knives. Those convicted men are 17-30 years of age, the newspaper said.

The crime took place in Sharjah one the most conservative of the 7 emirates.

Can We Fix It?
Yes We Can!
edifis,
That would explain the extermination of all the 17 men!
The identity of the man Killed was Sheikh Julius Caesar.
Britexpat,
That’s all fair when it’s the case. How about if you haven't done the crime and you'll not be given the chance to do the time but instead be exterminated?
How’s that sound?
17 people can be involved in the killing of 2, but it is extremely unlikely that all 17 have carried out the crime in equal share!
If you do the crime, then be prepared to do the time...
It is possible that 17 men can kill only one single man. It is also possible that an army equiped with most updated technologies shoots and bombs day and night innocent children and women.
its a bitter truth that a law varies according to the nationality in this region, but i've doubt if its varies according to religion.

Nic. You have a point, they always underline the nationality when there is a news. BUt again its obvious, the law varies according to the natinality and religion in this part of the world..

Anti-american word? Try reading my post again . I said anti-USA "sentiments". Since it might be difficult for you to guess the meaning this might help :-
sentiment - an attitude toward something; regard; opinion.
It's ok pajju, I don't lose my cool over such matters. My education lets me put down people without resorting to abusive language.
Deepb,
I totally endorse your comment that is why I chose to ignore that individual ;)
can u help me to figure out a single anti american word in my post
"but we are naive to believe on such silly news, that 9/11 were planned and executed by al qaeda, and the consequences were faced by Iraq and Afghanistan."

Your anti - USA sentiments do not affect me. Your arguments show a clear lack of education and deep rooted bias. And now to top it off, you respond with abusive language. Way to go dot.com
:P

Dot.com way to go on relating completely unrelated matters. Your like a stuck record player just stuck on your hatred towards USA.
but we are naive to believe on such silly news, that 9/11 were planned and executed by al qaeda, and the consequences were faced by Iraq and Afghanistan.

too much alcohol instake is bad. well, that's justice...
Correct your Heading "17 Indians" (be proud of it). Shoot 'em up.
it is sad story...hope this kind of crime should be eliminated.
read the full story. It was a turf war of bootleggers.
noufal,
are you that naive to believe in such a silly version?
So simple isale, 17 people killed 1 man. How ? Did they trample him to death or all 17 took turns stabbing him?
the other 33 must have told that the 17 had done the job.
Simple.
"Police had rushed to the area and arrested the 17, who had allegedly led the attack. The others were let off due to lack of evidence"

All those 17 arrested by police from the site sentenced to death;
remaining 33 let off due to lack of evidence
Deepb,
Sure it does.
Not even to mention the way the article was written, unnecessarily specifying the nationalities.
Nic, 50 people attacking 4 and 17 of them convicted for killing 1. Sounds rather fishy doesn't it?
I feel sorry for these 17 guys.
Who on earth would believe that 17 guys killed one man?
Scary what can happen in countries like this one, where law is selectively applied and “enforced” by other expats under the control of untrained but powerful locals!
They have dug themselves into a hole, and so pay for what u have sown..
Dot.com, don't worry..i m absolutely normal..
This is a reliable source..
