"Any man or woman who dresses up and behaves like the opposite gender in public will be questioned and legal action will be taken against him or her.''

Lieutenant General Dahi Khalfan Tamim, Dubai Police Chief, following up on the arrest of 40 tourists, and a threat issued back in May to arrest any transvestites caught in public. Apparently, he perceives an increasing number of cross-dressers in the Arab country, and plans to deport them for being against Dubai's "social values." The fast-developing, rich, sea-side nation is probably best known in America for last year's controversial announcement by Halliburton to move it's corporate headquarters to Dubai. (PinkNews.co.uk)
