Eid Al Adha 2025: Dubai Police warn against speeding, reckless driving ahead of holiday
Dubai Police have issued a strong warning to motorists, urging them to refrain from speeding during the upcoming Eid Al Adha break, highlighting the dangers of reckless driving that could turn celebrations into tragedy. 'Don't spoil Eid's joy by driving at high speeds,' said Major General Saif Muhair Al Mazroui, acting commandant assistant for Operations Affairs and acting chairperson of the Dubai Event Security Committee (ESC). He stressed that exceeding speed limits not only puts lives at risk but can also lead to serious physical, psychological, and financial consequences. In preparation for a safe and seamless holiday, authorities have launched an extensive security plan, which includes 515 security patrols, 130 civil defence vehicles, two helicopters, and 62 ambulatory stations. Additionally, 34 marine security boats and traffic patrols will be deployed to help reduce congestion and ensure rapid emergency response. 'Whether on land, sea, or in the air, our teams are ready,' Al Mazroui said. 'We are working closely with the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) to secure all prayer grounds and mosques while maintaining smooth traffic flow across the emirate.' Al Mazroui also urged caution for those enjoying outdoor activities. He advised beachgoers and jet ski enthusiasts to avoid crowded areas where families gather and to keep an eye on children, especially near pools and beaches. Similarly, drivers in desert areas were reminded to operate their bikes and four-wheel-drive vehicles responsibly and avoid speeding. He further warned against the use of fireworks, calling on families to keep children away from them. 'Fireworks can cause burns, permanent injuries, and even ignite fires that threaten lives and property,' he said. To support public safety, the Command and Control Centre will operate 24/7 to handle emergency calls. Residents were encouraged to contact 999 only for emergencies, and to use 901 for general inquiries. Violations can also be reported via the 'Police Eye' service on the Dubai Police website. As part of the broader security effort, Dubai's transportation network will be reinforced with 104 trains, over 30,000 taxis and limousines, 1,240 public buses, and 43 marine transport vehicles. In addition, 18 hospitals and clinics will be on standby throughout the holidays to provide prompt medical assistance when needed. In a bid to further engage the community, the Event Security Committee will organise sports competitions for workers in areas such as Jebel Ali, Al Quoz, and Al Muhaisnah, running from 5pm to midnight on the first two days of Eid. 'We want everyone to enjoy Eid safely, on the roads, at the beaches, and in their neighbourhoods,' Al Mazroui said.

Judge says detained Turkish national Rumeysa Ozturk must be moved to Vermont
Tufts University PhD candidate Rumeysa Ozturk must be transferred from Louisiana to Vermont, a federal appeals court ruled on Wednesday in a blow to the Trump administration. Ozturk was detained by plainclothes immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) agents wearing masks on a street close to her home in Somerville, Massachusetts, on 25 March, as she was on her way to break her fast for Ramadan. She is one of several foreign students in the US on legal visas who have been arrested by the Trump administration in its crackdown on pro-Palestinian voices. Ozturk's lawyers said she was arrested for co-authoring an opinion article in a student newspaper. She has not been charged with any crime. Ozturk was driven to multiple places in three states - including New Hampshire and Vermont - before being flown thousands of miles to an ICE detention centre in Basile, Louisiana, making it difficult for her to gain access to legal help and community. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters Activists and legal experts have said moving her to Louisiana put her in a court system that could be more favourable to Trump's deportation push. Last month, a judge in Massachusetts ordered that Ozturk's case be moved to Vermont, where she was previously being held. Judge William Sessions III, who is overseeing the Vermont case, gave the federal government a 1 May deadline to transfer Ozturk. The federal government appealed that decision. Wednesday's ruling is a strike against the federal government's push to keep Ozturk in Louisiana, a Republican-leaning state. It likely marks the first time that a federal appeals court has determined in which state the Trump administration can detain students. Shezza Abboushi Dallal, a lawyer from Clear, one of the organisations representing Ozturk and other detained pro-Palestinian students, told Middle East Eye on Wednesday that the Trump administration faced a defeat in its bid to delay and detain Ozturk. Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil barred from attending birth of his son Read More » 'We are hoping for her return to Vermont. Another deployed delay strategy that the government waged over the course of the past few weeks is to try to appeal the district of Vermont's order that she be returned from Louisiana…the court earlier today, 7 May, rejected that effort.' Ozturk is a former Fulbright scholar who was pursuing her PhD at Tufts University in child study and human development when she was detained. Since then, Tufts University and the local community have rallied around her. More than 20 friends, colleagues, and professors, including the president of Tufts University, have sent letters of support to the court detailing Ozturk's dedication to her work and community and asking for her release. On 10 April, for the first time in years, Tufts Democrats and Republicans drafted and signed a joint statement condemning the Trump administration's arrest and detention of Ozturk, as well as the government's broader attack on international students and the right to free speech. On 11 April, a coalition of 27 Jewish organisations, including J Street, Bend the Arc, Jalsa, and Temple Emanu-El, has also come to Ozturk's defence, submitting a proposed amicus brief to the court.
