The chief of Dubai Police has called on all his officers and staff to uphold the highest standards of integrity, and cautioned that abuse of power was the fundamental cause of unrest in other Arab states.

"The accumulation of their abuse of power and a public that is suffering from performance failures created this revolutionary snap."


Really??
--------------------------
If you read between the lines it appears that there is concern as to how Dubai police conduct appears to the world beyond the Arab states regarding the deaths and abuse in the prisons.

It came against a backdrop of recent high-profile cases involving the police. The family of Lee Brown, a British man who died in police custody, say he was abused before he died. And Dubai Public Prosecution last week charged 13 officers with torturing three suspects in an investigation, killing one.
---------------
Officials pointed out that the lecture and meeting had been planned for months and were not related to recent incidents.

Again, I say: Really???

Interesting that this is all coming to the fore now - the UAE is applying to become a member of the United Nations Human Rights Council.

Maybe this is the start of a clean up operation to facilitate their entry?
