The Ras Al Khaimah Misdemeanors Court of Appeals acquitted an (Arab) student of smoking a marijuana cigarette, and canceled the order to deport him from the state, for smoking the cigarette and not knowing that it contained a narcotic substance, and because the papers were devoid of evidence of criminal intent.

The Public Prosecution indictment stated that the accused brought hashish with the intent to use, possessed with intent to use a psychotropic drug (tramadol), and used hashish. The verdict was acceptable to the accused, so he appealed against it to the Misdemeanors Appeal Court.

The attorney for the accused, Lawyer Ramzi Al-Agouz, indicated in the defense memorandum that the arrest procedures were null and the criminal intent for the crime of abuse was absent.

He explained that his client's newspaper is free from any precedents, whether in drugs or others, and that he is a university student and is distinguished by good conduct, and that he was not aware that the cigarette contained the narcotic hashish, which was completely denied by the papers and it was proven that he did not know what it was, which makes the innocence enforceable according to True law.

In the verdict of the Misdemeanors Appeal Court, the accused denied in the investigations his knowledge that the cigarette contained hashish and that the judgments are based on certainty and not on conjecture and guesswork. A legally prohibited drug.

She explained that the court examined the case and took note of its circumstances and the evidentiary evidence on which the accusation was based, and balanced it with the evidence of the denial, and therefore it is likely that the accused did not know that the cigarette he took contained a narcotic substance, especially since another defendant in the case decided that the accused was not dealing with him and may have taken the cigarette from its box.

She pointed out that the papers lacked evidence of criminal intent against the accused, which requires the judiciary to acquit him of what was attributed to him because the appealed judgment violated this consideration and therefore the judiciary must cancel it.

She added that she was reassured about the accuracy of the accused's admission before her that he used cannabis without his knowledge of the content of the cigarette, and then the court takes the appealed judgment as an integral part of the reasons for its ruling, and accordingly decides to accept the appeal in form and on the matter by canceling the appealed judgment and acquitting the accused, canceling the ordered deportation measure and supporting everything else The accused was required to pay a fee of 500 dirhams.
