ABU DHABI (Web Desk) – An Australian woman has reportedly been arrested in Abu Dhabi for posting an image on Facebook of a vehicle blocking two disabled car spots at her apartment block.
Jodi Magi was arrested and jailed for writing “bad words” on social media, Al Jazeera reported.
The report said that the 39-year-old artist was found guilty at a trial last month, but that when she attended an Abu Dhabi court to pay a fine, she was detained by officials.
“They were about to put me in the male lock-up and then they turned me away and no one knows what to do with me,” said Magi from the back of a police car.
“No one is talking to me. No one is telling me what is going on. I’ve been driving around for literally about four hours.”
The photo reportedly showed a vehicle without any disabled stickers, blocking two car spots reserved for those with disabilities at Magi’s apartment block.
The number plate of the car was reportedly blacked out in the photo, making the vehicle difficult to identify. Facebook has removed the photo.
