Will UAE ambassador [in the US] will EVER do this?
 
US ambassador apologizes over handcuffing of Emirati in Ohio | Daily Mail Online


So, here’s the report and the US ambassador is summoned by the UAE…and later apologizes for a ‘civil’ matter. Yet, I have never read a report where the UAE ambassador ever apologized to any western state/foreign office for the mistreatment of citizens of those countries in UAE?

One recent report comes to mind is the Australian/Canadian[?] woman who was jailed for calling out a UAE national parking on the wrong spot on her Facebook page. Did the UAE ambassador apologized?

I always love arguments where someone tries to claim moral superiority while simultaneously saying people should act as badly as the people they look down on.

There's a link within this BBC article that leads to a YouTube video of the bodycam of one of the arresting officers.

I'd say the gent deserved an apology 😕

If link doesn't work search BBC "Charges mooted in UAE robes...

it's all about money, united states is only looking for money and does not care about anything else.

Well seing as money and image are the only things that matters in the UAE surely that is good call from a diplomacy perspective?
