News Year’s Eve, neighbours staged a loud party that became even louder in the early hours

having knocked on the front door with no response, he ventured down an open path to the garden, where he asked guests if they could move their party indoors. Party host ‘threw a drink’

He claimed some guests pushed him and shouted at him while filming him and that the host threw a drink over his granddaughter

the neighbour subsequently filed a police complaint for trespass

Human rights campaigners say it is “standard practice” in Dubai for people to preemptively file a police report when they are themselves at risk of being reported because of their behaviour.
