Woman posts picture of parked car to Facebook, is jailed


Abu Dhabi - Abu Dhabi officials threw Austrailian Jodi Magi in jail for posting a picture of a parked car online, Australia’s ABC News reports.

It started in February when Magi, annoyed at a driver who took up two handicap-parking spaces in her apartment’s lot, posted a photo (since removed, per the Sydney Morning Herald) of the car on Facebook.

The 39-year-old didn’t include any identifying elements in the photo, the ABC notes—but the next thing she knew, a complaint was filed and she was in an Abu Dhabi courtroom, where she was found guilty under a UAE cybercrime law of “writing bad words on social media about a person.”

She was hit with a $2,700 fine, and told she’d be deported from Abu Dhabi, where she’s lived since 2012. More
