Pretending to be a part of extremist groups can land you in trouble, says Dubai Police

Making jokes or pretending to identify with extremist groups can lead to criminal prosecution, says Dubai Police, who are warning residents against "irresponsible behaviour" on social networking websites. Police officials say that people should not joke on social media about being part of extremist groups as it can lead to legal ramifications. Dubai Police’s Al Ameen service say that “irresponsible behaviour” on social can threaten the country’s security. If you suspect anyone who is posting extremist content, you can contact Al Ameen by calling or sending a fax to 800 4888, or sending an SMS to +971 800 4888.
