Dubai: A prisoner was forced to urinate on the floor of a clean room where he was locked away from a toilet, before a nurse took a urine sample from the ground after he refused to give them one willingly.
Records said the anti-narcotics police cleaned the room with soap and water before they locked up the 22-year-old Emirati prisoner inside it.
After the suspect, K.A., refused to give a sample to be tested for drugs, he was kept away from a toilet for a period which was long enough for a nurse to use a syringe and extract a sample when the suspect had urinated on the floor.
Under ordinary circumstances, a suspect is usually given a test tube in which he gives a urine sample to be examined for any banned substances.
K.A., who appeared before the Dubai Court of First Instance, told Presiding Judge Abdul Majid Al Nezamy: "I am innocent... I didn't give them any urine sample at all. The sample they had wasn't mine."
The Public Prosecution charged the suspect with consuming morphine and using other kinds of mind-affecting substances such as hashish, Nordazipam, Timazipam and Venoparpetal.
The nurse who extracted the suspect's urine sample of the floor testified: "The Anti-Narcotics Department assigned me to take the sample from floor after the suspect refused to give a sample in the ordinary way... he was locked inside the room until he peed then I took the sample with a syringe."
