Two drug dealers sentenced to life, to be deported

A court in Abu Dhabi sentenced two Asian men to life in prison and ordered their deportation after they were convicted of dealing drugs.

Acting on a tip-off, police caught the two red-handed as they tried to sell nearly 5 kg of heroin for Dh200,000.

Newspapers said police units watched from a distance as the two negotiated a price for their stuff before swooping on the place and arresting them.

A court of first instance sentenced them to life in jail and ordered their deportation, prompting the two to appeal.

A court of appeals issued the same verdict which was upheld by the Federal Supreme Court.
