United Arab Emirates: Lebanese with official residency face investigations and restrictions on Dubai-Beirut travel.
Several Lebanese were interrogated for about six hours straight upon their arrival at Dubai airport days ago, with their mobile phones confiscated and searched and their families unable to reach them. They were asked whether they felt sad when Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah was killed, whether they visited his shrine, whether they know anyone from Hezbollah or Lebanon who holds dual passports, and about previous visits to Qatar or Turkey and the reasons for this. The detainees were subjected to heavy psychological pressure, fearing that any slip-up could have consequences.
