AED100,000 fine, jail for declining to give sample for drug test

Those who refuse to give sample for drug test in the UAE without a valid reason could face a fine of Dh100,000 and two-year jail term, the UAE Public Prosecution has warned.

The public prosecution said the authorities can collect sample for tests for narcotic or psychotropic drugs from people after obtaining permission from the public prosecution. The permission is given when it’s found that sample collection is necessary for collecting evidence.
