Hassan Qashqavi on Monday condemned the Dubai police for mistreating Iranians tourists.
Police at Dubai International Airport reportedly manhandled and insulted 150 Iranian men and women arriving in the Persian Gulf emirate from Tehran. The police claim they had had reports suggesting one of the Iranians was carrying narcotics, Presstv reported.
The Foreign Ministry spokesman once again urged the emirati officials to approach and treat Iranian travelers with respect.
He noted that Iran’s Foreign Ministry had summoned the UAE charge d’affaires to protest the irresponsible conduct of the Dubai police.
“Such unacceptable behavior will indeed harm Iranian public opinion about the UAE,“ the spokesman said. He rejected reports that the Foreign Ministry has been apathetic toward the systematic harassment of Iranians by the UAE police.
