Dubai businessmen go on hunger strike over debt crimes - FT.com:
"A group of businessmen have gone on hunger strike in Dubai’s main jail to protest against their continued incarceration for writing cheques that bounced.
Twelve inmates from India, Pakistan and the Gulf, who have spent years behind bars for failing to honour debts during the global financial crisis, are likely to be joined by other men of different nationalities over the next few days, one of the hunger strikers said.
The 12 have written to public prosecutors to complain that their sentences were handed out in “bad faith” and as a result of improper application of the law."
