British Cancer Sufferer Thrown In Jail
In Dubai Over His Lawful Prescription Medication
January 8. 2018
Perry Coppins
61-year-old British man Perry Coppins was
thrown in jail during a visit to Dubai. He was arrested by
the government over his lawful medication for “carrying too
many pills.” However, Coppins trip to Dubai was to last for
6-months and he brought the corresponding amount of
medication with him for the visit.
Coppins was left in jail for 5-weeks, which
caused his health to greatly deteriorate, resulting in
“bouts of blindness“ “hallucinations“ “weight loss” and
withdrawal. Doctors routinely advise that patients are to be
weaned off pharmaceutical drugs. Patients are not advised to
abruptly stop, as it can induce painful, undesirable and
unhealthy side effects. Coppins was released last week.
As stated in past articles, a number of foreign tourists
from the West, who have visited Dubai on vacation/holiday,
have been arrested for innocuous behavior labeled offenses.
The Dubai government runs advertising campaigns in western
nations such as Britain and Australia, then promptly arrests
tourist for drinking alcohol, having sex, kissing or holding
hands in public, eating or drinking during the month of
Ramadan, cross dressing or bringing their medication into
the country.
According to the Independent UK newspaper,
“In 2005, a British couple received a one-month jail
sentence for kissing in a restaurant after a local woman
complained.” Female tourists have been arrested in Dubai for
being raped. These arrests must stop, as it is outrageous
and very damaging to tourists, who end up losing their jobs,
homes and savings under traumatic circumstances, while
battling legal charges from a Dubai prison. Jews are also
not permitted to enter Dubai, which is discriminatory.

British cancer sufferer held in Dubai for five weeks
for carrying 'too many pills' freed
6 hours ago - A British man battling
prostate cancer has been freed after he was jailed for five
weeks in Dubai for carrying "too many pills". Perry Coppins,
61, was held on November 1 after a customs official thought
he had taken illegal amounts of his prescription medication
into the country, according to the campaign group Detained
in Dubai (DiD).
The maritime security officer from
Nottingham was carrying his medicine, which is legal in the
United Arab Emirates with a prescription, and his
prescription. Mr Coppins, a father-of-three, was jailed for
five weeks despite his explanation that he needed enough of
his medication to last him for a six-month voyage, according
to DiD...
DiD claimed Mr Coppins was denied his
medication in custody, and his condition deteriorated
rapidly as he suffered severe withdrawal, including
hallucinations, bouts of blindness and weight loss. His
family and friends were hoping that Mr Coppins would be able
to get the treatment he needed.
