		</div><p>Police in Dubai arrested a group of people on charges of public debauchery, authorities said, over a widely shared video that showed naked women posing on a balcony in the city.</p>
<p>Violations of the public decency law in the United Arab Emirates, including for nudity and other “lewd behaviour”, carry penalties of up to six months in prison and a 5,000 dirham (€1,160) fine.</p>
<p>The sharing of pornographic material is also punishable with prison time and hefty fines under the country’s laws, which are based on Islamic law, or Shariah.</p>
<p>Late on Saturday, videos and photographs depicting over a dozen naked women, lined up on a balcony while being filmed in Dubai’s upmarket Marina neighbourhood in broad daylight, splashed across social media.</p>
<p>It came as a shock in the federation of seven Arab sheikhdoms, where tamer behaviour, like kissing in public or drinking alcohol without a licence, has landed people in jail.</p>
<p>State-linked newspaper The National reported it appeared to be a “publicity stunt,” without elaborating.</p>
<p>Dubai police said those arrested over the “indecent” video had been referred to the public prosecution.</p>
<p>“Such unacceptable behaviours,” the police statement said, “do not reflect the values and ethics of Emirati society.”</p>
<p>The UAE, while liberal in many regards compared to its Middle Eastern neighbours, has strict laws governing expression.</p>
<p>People have been jailed for their comments and videos online.</p>
<p>The country’s majority state-owned telecom companies block access to major pornographic websites.</p>
