This is a really old story! The case got thrown out in the US because the state the complaint it was issued in has not jurisdiction to press charges - end of.

It was an old story you mean.

You are not in any way suggesting the Emirates leaders CAN do some wrong, are you?

Regardless the case got thrown out, so nothing will happen.

chocs

it only got thrown out because of a technicallity of the law in the US. Had the family had major business interests in florida then there would have been a case.

Now it has been transferred to kentucky where they have major business interests and stables etc

The case will go ahead here.

I bet still nothing happens.

Apart from the worlds press covering it.

It is just that their famlies want to get some cash, Most of what is written is untrue, they used to enter the county with valid visas and with the approval of their famlies, and as usual the human rights orginazation accused UAE of voilating the children rights, (where are the rights of the children in Iraq), anyway, our country tightened camel race laws

This is what we say in Arabic (He bites the hand that is feeding him)

Why they did not file a lawsuit in the UK eventhough his highness owns more properties in the UK, just because in the UK, they are fair, they dont listen to this rubbish , but in the US, anything against Arabs and Muslims will go through, Jewish lobby and Media
