US EditionDad Jailed for 40 Years in Dubai 'Hellhole' After Being 'Caught with Cocaine' - Manchester Evening News
- Sam Dorman, a 33-year-old tattoo artist and father from Glossop, was sentenced to 40 years in Dubai's Al-Awir Central Prison this month after a police sting found cocaine.
- In 2022, Dorman relocated to Dubai with plans to establish a business, but was arrested after authorities discovered half a gram of cocaine on his person and an additional 28 grams at his residence, both classified as Class A drugs.
- Al-Awir Central Prison is notorious for harsh conditions and overcrowding, reflecting the UAE’s strict zero-tolerance drug laws that carry severe penalties including life imprisonment or death.
- The 28 grams found are worth about £2,000 in the UK but could fetch three times more in Dubai, and a source said, "He won't be out till he's in his 70s."
- Dorman's family in the UK, distressed by the harsh sentence given his young daughter, is receiving support from the Foreign Office amid concerns for his welfare.
