UAE: Up to 1 month in jail, Dh100,000 fine for 'indecent acts' in public

Dubai - The same penalty applies to those who "seduce another to commit an obscene act of immorality"

The UAE Public Prosecution has issued a reminder on its social media accounts regarding speech or conduct that undermines public morals. Those who engage in such acts will be liable to legal accountability, the authority said.

Committing indecent acts in public such as yelling, calling, singing or engaging in speech that is repugnant to morals will be punishable by law.

The penalty for such acts will be imprisonment not exceeding one month and/or fine of not more than Dh100,000.
