The Dubai Criminal Court is hearing the testimonies of witnesses in a closed session in a case where a Pakistani woman and an Emirati man are accused of threatening to murder two women and getting their services terminated from their company.
Four women - three Pakistanis and a Briton - appeared in the court and presiding judge Al Saeed Barghouth asked them to give their testimonies in a closed session after the court’s hearing.
Tahmina H, 24, a Pakistani employee, testified before the prosecution that on April 15 she went with her friend, Fayeqa S, to Deira City Centre. While leaving, they saw the accused. MSS, 24, a female colleague, offered them a lift in a car driven by AAM, 28, an Emirati who works in the same company.
They accepted the offer. On the way, AAM suddenly stopped the car and three Africans got into the vehicle, Tahmina testified.
MSS then asked them to read loud abusive statements against their employer, which was to be used to get their services terminated from the company. She also threatened that if they did not do so, she will ask the Africans to rape them.
The two women obeyed and MSS recorded their voice on her mobile phone.
AAM dropped them off at their accommodation and on the following day MSS came to their house and threatened them again, forcing them to complain to the police.
Mahezabin T, 24, a Pakistani employee at the firm, testified that MSS used to create problems for Tahmina because the latter knew about the ‘illegal’ relationship between MSS and AAM.
