An Australian woman was deported from Abu Dhabi, UAE after being sent to jail for cyber crimes after “writing bad words on social media”.
Jodi Magi, 39, had posted a photo on Facebook in February of a car illegally parked across two disabled spots. The picture was allegedly accompanied by “insulting, degrading remarks”.
The complaint was made by the vehicle’s owner, a European.
Magi admitted to having posted the photo but denied having written the incriminating text.
Speaking about her stay in jail, Magi related that she had been shackled at the ankles, strip-searched and made to sleep on a concrete floor with no access to toilet paper or eating utensils.
