British expat Billy Hood made the mistake of living in Dubai. A friend visited him and then sent him a message about having left behind some CBD vaping fluid. The thugs of Dubai saw the message, arrested Hood, and tortured him into signing a confession he could not read.

Why torture and lie to imprison someone for what they knew was unintentional possession? Is it that the emir of Dubai set them an example of sadistic brutality? Is it that they have to meet a quota of convictions per month?
