A Passenger caught at Airport carrying iPhones on behalf of a friend - Death Sentence

If the statement of the person is true that his friend gave him the so-called mobile phones, it is really saddening for it is the end of the trust and faith everyone has on their friends. Some losses are irreversible and the death penalty is one such.

The other side of the story may be that the person may be lying for the sake of plea and to wriggle out of the case unscathed, and this will only be proven by time.

Most of the countries have strict rules regarding drug smuggling and other crimes, and the UAE is one of them. We agree, for drugs destroy the person who uses them, causes life loss and financial loss too.

Drugs are worse in the form of self-harm and we have seen innumerable families getting affected by it. One thing is for sure, be vigilant, be very careful and don’t hesitate to say no to your friends and family if they ask you to carry any such packed or wrapped items across the border.

Life is precious, don’t make it difficult by falling prey to such hideous and inhumane people who value money more than your life. May Allah protect us all from such happenings.
