The British nationals face up to 10 years in prison, according to a report released Sunday by two UK-based human rights organizations working with Emirati lawyers. “Tourists, expats and cabin crew have been detained in overcrowded police cells and, and in some cases denied sleep, food and medicine, as they fall foul of draconian laws that purport to protect "national security and stability,” the report says. “Even passively receiving an image is deemed illegal under the severest laws, which can carry a sentence of ten years in prison or fines of up to £200,000.” Emirati laws prohibit anyone from taking or publishing photos that could “disturb public security.”
