Two people have been sentenced to three months in jail to be followed by deportation for assault and robbery of an Asian man in UAE.
The men from the Comoros were handed the sentence as they were accompanied by a juvenile to physically assault the victim. The attack temporarily left the man disabled for some time.
Umm Al Quwain’s Misdemeanour Court will put the juvenile in a rehabilitation centre or in one of the education and reform houses in the case.
