How a post on Facebook can send you to jail

People believe that freedom of speech gives them the right to post whatever they want on Facebook or in general on , but there are some who find out the hard way that this is not entirely correct. facebook jail

Express released an article for a man who was jailed because he dared to criticize his employer on Facebook online. Ignoring the consequences he might have regarding his freedom, he published a simple view on Facebook, and eventually was taken to prison.

American citizen Ryan Pate, who was working as a helicopter engineer for a Middle East company, protested at his Facebook web site that he was on leave and had gone to Florida to visit his family and was not allowed his employer to extend his permit for some days. Ryan Pate attempted by phone to persuade his employer that the extension of his leave was absolutely necessary because of his back injury, but denied him extra days.

Completely annoyed by his employer's response, Pate decided to share his experience and frustration. on Facebook. His publication contains the word "back", that is, that he was treated cowardly.

However, the employer somehow learned about his publication and demanded to capture Pate as soon as he stepped his foot in the Arab Emirates. As it turned out.

What we don't know is that there is one in the Emirates which clearly states that no employee is allowed to belittle or malign their employer, let alone in public.

However, although such a law seems to be totally absurd in the eyes of an American citizen, Ryan Pate spent 10 days in prison, then went out with a bail and is now waiting for his trial facing a possible conviction that can reach up to 5 years in jail and a fine of $ 50.000.

Although he has expressed his regret and apologized to his employer, he has no choice but to wait for his sentence. In his trial he is expected to argue that his statement was made from foreign territory rather than from the Emirates, whenever he should be punished in accordance with the laws of the country in which the declaration was made.

This is why you should be careful about what you post online. Of course, we all know that the Emirates have a different attitude towards foreign nationals living and working in their country. But let's not forget that and we had an awakening of the Greek judiciary due to the unacceptable publications against Vangelis Giakoumakis.
