I was today years old when I learnt why “Miranda rights” are so called. I was also today years old when I went down a rabbit hole of Wikipedia entries after deciding to write this article, and ended up on a page dedicated to “Human Rights in the United Arab Emirates,” (or lack there of?). Going through the page made me realize how lucky I was to not have been forcibly disappeared, tortured, abused to death or killed. And yet, here I am taking my chances and writing this from Dubai, UAE.
