I spent 158 days in a prison in UAE.

The first time I met that man was at a friend's dinner party. When I introduced him, he said his name was little T.

Everyone had a good time that day,

The first time I met that man was at a friend's dinner party. When I introduced him, he said his name was little T.

Everyone had a good time that day, so little T talked to me about his story in Dubai.

He arrived in Dubai on 20 1 1. At first, he worked in a travel agency, and worked as an airline ticket and visa for two years. During this period, he made some contacts and accumulated some resources.

Two years later, when his visa expired, he chose to resign.

Little T and his brother in Dubai are seriously talking about the future, thinking that if they make full use of their resources, they should be able to make a profit. So, do it.

They started their own business and opened a travel agency with visa tickets.

The company opened in Delaville alfalfa market.

In the chat, what kind of person does Brother Pang think Little T is?

It's the kind of person who is particularly boring and serious.

He doesn't have a sense of humor at all, and he doesn't even respond to our jokes, but he will think about anything you ask him for a while, and then answer you very seriously and carefully in a particularly solemn tone.

This kind of man is not lovable, but,

This attitude of taking everything seriously can bring great sureness to the communicators.

I don't know if it is his skill that makes his company still live well in Dubai's huge tourism market competition.

However, after the arrival of the epidemic, the tourism market basically collapsed, and he asked other employees of the company to return to China for vacation, leaving only two employees to work at home in Dubai.

From 2020, the company's business will basically be to help people book air tickets and apply for visas, but in August 2020,

Something happened to little t's company!

In August 2020, a customer of Little T sent him the first pages of two Thai women's passports on WeChat.

Ask him to help me get a visa for Thais to come to the United Arab Emirates.

Generally speaking, both overseas visas and domestic renewal are routine business. Visa company will not ask about the specific situation of the business object, and T will generally do this small business in ICA system.

Unexpectedly, these two Thai girls were tricked by traffickers into coming to the United Arab Emirates to engage in special service industries.

After arriving in Dubai, it was sold by customers to a gun shop owner in Las Haima.

Because of the epidemic, the business of massage parlors is bleak, and the prices in UAE are basically "ridiculously high" than those in Thailand.

Seeing no hope of making money in a strange environment, the girl wants to leave the UAE and return to Thailand.

But the girl's passport was deducted by the boss.

The girls who couldn't get their passports chose to call the police, not to mention the efficiency of the police uncle in Las Haima. He immediately rushed to the massage parlor after calling the police, closed the shop and took everyone away.

On September 9, 2020, Little T received a phone call from Las Haima Police Station, asking whether the visas of the two girls were handled by them, and asked him to come to the police station to cooperate with the investigation.

At that time, little t thought:

I am a regular visa company. Explain it. I had nothing to do with that.

The next afternoon, with his passport, ID card, business license and related information, Little T proudly went to the Las Haima police station. He also told his friends who had dinner together in the evening.

I may eat late, you know people here are very inefficient.

Unexpectedly, when he went,

Never came back.

When he arrived at Las Haima police station, he explained the whole story to the police officer. The police officer saw that he was also an honest man and was unlikely to lie, so he comforted him and said:

Take care, no problem, but we need to check.

This check sent the little T check to the detention center in Las Haima.

At first, Little T felt unlucky. It seems that he will stay in the detention center for one night and can't leave until the next day.

He doesn't really know,

Fate wants to play a little joke on him.

One of the questions that Fat Brother is most curious about is:

What is the caretaker director of Las Haima like?

Little T told me that it is a little similar to our common labor camp, but the room is much bigger than the labor camp. A room usually has 8- 10 bunk beds, because the space is large enough, and even some staff dormitories in Videla are spacious. Every room is equipped with air conditioning, and there are gyms and prayer rooms in public areas.

When you first enter, you will be searched and take away all sharp weapons, belts, etc. From you, then deposit all the cash in your wallet into a special card for the detention center (similar to a bank card), and use this card for all future consumption in the detention center.

Next, you can choose:

Smoking or non-smoking

Generally speaking, the sanitary conditions in the non-smoking area are better than those in the smoking area, so Little T chose the non-smoking area.

Unlike many people's imagination, the detention center here in UAE is orderly and humanized.

Little t is chatting with an old American man. He compared this place to an international free hotel.

Most of T's prisons come from India and Pakistan, Bangladesh and other parts of the world.

There are two large vertical air-conditioned halls, four vertical air-conditioned halls and a prayer room for Muslims to chant and pray. Muslims get up at 4: 30 in the morning and start praying five times a day. At night, lights are turned off in the dormitory 10.

Three meals a day, breakfast is Arabic pie and boiled egg cheese and strawberry jam or pineapple sauce; Lunch, rice, KFC (Thursday, a big chicken leg is braised beef or fried fish), vegetable salad, Arabic tea, jujube fruit, bananas, apples and oranges are different every day. Dinner pie and pumpkin soup curry and Indian carob.

T was not used to it at first, but he saw,

Many Indians and Pakistanis eat happily every day, which may be better than what they eat outside.

There are two cable TVs in the hall, which can watch TV programs from all over the world. Mostly Arabic and Indian films.

With the help of friends in the detention center, Little T successfully received TV programs from China International Television and China-Arab Satellite TV.

Little T said that for a while, his happiest thing was:

Take a fancy to A Wei's Legend of the Condor Heroes.

In the detention center, you can contact the outside world by phone, but you need to buy a prepaid card. There is a user name and password, and each card is 25 dirhams.

You can call UAE for 50 minutes, and call countries outside UAE for only 8 minutes (Friday 12 minutes).

There is a convenience store inside. Daily necessities and takeout can be ordered.

The price will be a little more expensive than the market (a box of cigarettes 13 dirhams Marlboro 28 dirhams, a bottle of Coke 4 dirhams 250 ml with short sleeves 15 dirhams). It can be arranged to be delivered the next morning and the next day on Friday.

In the detention center, there are levels between people, and the only criterion to distinguish this level is:

Who has a cigarette in his hand!

As long as someone smokes, there will be several smokers waiting for Sabassa soon. If they refuse to give it, they will stare at you and smile. I hope you smoke less. They can get a cigarette butt.

Buy some cigarettes, give them to your friends in the detention center, and ask them to do anything, such as running errands, cutting hair and washing clothes. They all help you.

As long as you have cigarettes.

Little T doesn't smoke, but after he knew the rules of the game, he bought several packs of cigarettes and sent some to an international friend in prison from time to time. They are very happy.

Even the detention center registered them with COVID-19 vaccine.

Foreigners and China people are just different. Foreigners know that they have something to do, and they are cheerful and heartless every day, but China people are so haggle over every ounce. Little t clearly knows that he is innocent, but his heart is getting heavier and heavier.

What the hell are these things called?

The police uncle told little T that he would be fine, so don't worry, but he should go through legal procedures and ask the judge to make a decision.

Everyone knows the efficiency of Arabs, plus the epidemic.

The court in Las Haima meets once a month! !

T this case, a * * * held five sessions, but it took five months, and each session only asked him one question:

Are you with them?

Every time T told them categorically: No, he is just a travel company engaged in visa business. Nothing to do with each other.

Finally, acquitted!

On 2021February 17, the court ruled that little T was not guilty and he was free again. He spent 158 days in the detention center in Las Haima.

After he came out, he had to face the rumors that he had lost contact with crime, as well as the arrears of office rent, water and electricity, and various expenses.

Of course, his family and friends care about him.

"Will this experience change your outlook on life and values?" Fat brother asked.

No, this experience will make me love life more and live a free life.

Little t said with a smile.
