FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The judge in his case claimed that Lees was a hardened drug dealer who was
also selling opium and heroin, although no evidence of this appears to have
been produced in court.
Lees was born in Jeddah, where his father worked for the Saudi Yanbu
Petrochemical Company, but has lived much of his life in the United Arab
Emirates.
His mother, Abeba Gebebramlak, who is of Eritrean origin, was in court when
the death sentence was imposed.
While Lees’s case file describes him as an “electrician”, he seems
to have had no regular job and no education beyond secondary school.
Asked on the social networking website MySpace whether he wanted to go to
college, he replied: “LOL [laugh out loud]. Just ask if I want to goto
[sic] a 4 year party instead”.
Other than several shopping malls, Abu Dhabi offers few outlets for the young
and is very different from its garish neighbour, Dubai. The sale of alcohol
is tightly restricted and rigid social codes remain in force. A sign on the
Corniche, a promenade beside the Gulf, reads: “Unruly behaviour will
not be tolerated”. The accompanying picture shows a man and a woman
holding hands, with a thick line drawn over them.
In the same week that Lees was sentenced, another man received a year in jail
for the offence of “consensual sex”, following an encounter with
an adult woman who was not his wife.
Lees had fallen foul of the local police before his arrest – his case file
records a previous charge of possessing drugs – and he brings up the subject
of narcotics on his MySpace profile. “In the past month, have you been
on drugs?” he asks himself. “If I had access to drugs, would I be
on MySpace?” is the reply. On his first thoughts when waking up, Lees
wrote: “F—, where did I put my pipe”.
His father has lived in the Gulf region continuously since 1984, aside from
two years in Azerbaijan, where he worked for BP as training and competence
coordinator on the Shah Deniz gas project. Mr Lees declined to comment on
his son’s case.
However, a relation contacted by The Daily Telegraph described Nathan
as a “very nice young man”, adding: “I last saw him around
four months ago. He has never been in trouble or into drugs in any way as
far as I am aware, but he has had problems getting a full-time job.”
Lees’s sentence is likely to be commuted to life in jail. The death penalty
will automatically be reviewed by the Appeal Court, then the Supreme Court
and finally by the Court of Cassation.
In all, 19 judges will consider the punishment and if any one dissents, the
capital sentence will be quashed. Even if all agree, Abu Dhabi’s ruler,
Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed, would be able to show clemency. About a dozen
people have received capital sentences for drugs offences since 2007, but
none has been executed.
