The human rights department received a call from a woman at the airport saying that she could not enter the country because her visa was cancelled without her knowledge.
A Yemeni woman, whose husband cancelled her visa after a dispute between them, has been helped re-enter the UAE by the Dubai Police Human Rights Department.
The General Department of Human Rights director, Brigadier Dr Mohammed Al Murr, said the social monitor and follow-up section at the human rights department assisted the woman, who had recently given birth, after her husband cancelled her visa while she was visiting Yemen, following a dispute between them.
Al Murr explained that the human rights department received a call from a woman at the airport saying that she could not enter the country because her visa was cancelled without her knowledge and she was banned from entering the country. Immediately the department called the husband, who confirmed her story and said that he wanted to teach his wife a lesson. He lied to her that he had got a new job and therefore had to cancel her visa. He convinced her to return to her country and promised that after joining his new job he would arrange for a new visa for her.
Al Murr said that when the wife felt that the man was delaying her return to the country, she decided to come back on her own and bought a ticket. When she arrived at the airport she was told that she has been banned from entering the country. The human rights department called the husband and solved the dispute between the couple.
The husband said his wife prevents him from allowing his brother and relatives to visit him, so he decided to punish her this way. The department coordinated with the concerned authorities to get a new visa for the wife to allow her to enter the country. Police said the husband promised to treat his wife in a better way after she agreed to improve her relations with his family.
The department’s first Lieutenant Ahmed Matter Al Shahi, head of social monitor and follow-section, said the department had also recently helped another woman after her husband refused to help her in travelling abroad for medical treatment for her nine-month baby, who was suffering from heart problems.
He explained that an Emirati woman told the department that her child needed medical treatment abroad and that her husband, who had left her and got married to another woman, had refused to sign the required documents to enable her to travel with her baby .
Al Shahi said the department first called the husband and when the latter did not respond to their calls, they contacted the concerned government authorities which sent the woman and her baby abroad and paid all their expenses.
