Girl to be deported for offending friend on Facebook

A court in Fujairah sentenced an Asian girl to three months in prison and ordered her deportation from the country after she was found guilty of insulting a friend on Facebook, newspapers said on Wednesday.

The defendant denied that she offended her friend, telling court that they have been friends for seven years.

She claimed that someone else might have hacked her Facebook account and placed her friend’s photograph to attract bad comments about her.

“The court did not believe the defendant and sentenced her to three months in jail and ordered her deportation in line with the UAE’s IT crime laws,” the official Arabic language daily Emarat Al Youm said.
