In Dubai, one of the seven emirates of the Islamic United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the Middle East, a bunch of female models were arrested while shooting naked.
The Dubai Police reported on the 4th (local time) that the Associated Press and the British media The Times reported that 10 women, who were photographed standing side by side, naked on the balcony of a skyscraper in Dubai Marina during the day, were captured on charges of obscene.
The police pointed out that the actions of the arrested women are unacceptable and that “it is against the values and ethics of the UAE society.”
A video containing the naked scenes of these people spread in hours on social media such as WhatsApp on the afternoon of the 3rd.
The video circulated on the Internet appears to have been taken by someone in a nearby building.
The identities or nationalities of the women were not disclosed, and the UAE media introduced that they were taking pictures for publicity.
However, there are observations that they may have participated in a photo shoot for an Israeli version of an adult American site, The Times said.
After Israel and the UAE, an Arab state in the Gulf region, agreed to normalize diplomatic relations through the mediation of the US government in August last year, they are accelerating cooperation in various fields such as tourism, investment, and sports.
Arrested women were on the verge of imprisonment.
According to UAE law, a person who professes obscenity or profanely seduces others can be fined 5,000 Dirhams (about 1.5 million won) or sentenced to six months in prison.
In addition, making or distributing pornographic material may result in a fine of 500,000 Dirham (about 150 million won) or imprisonment.
Dubai is considered one of the most open areas in the conservative Middle East, but obscene acts are severely punished according to Islamic law (Sharia).
In 2017, a Scottish tourist was sentenced to three months in prison for touching the ass of a German man in a bar in Dubai, and later suspended prosecution.
