A
senior member of the UAE royal family has been caught, literary
red-handed, in a torture scandal after a videotape was released showing
a man being severely assaulted by the prince.
The videotape smuggled out of the country by Bassam Nabulsi, a
businessman from Houston, Texas, depicts Sheikh Issa bin Zayed
al-Nahyan, the UAE Crown Prince’s brother, savagely torturing a man.
The victim was beaten with wooden planks with nails protruding from them and then the prince poured salt on his bleeding wounds.
