Police in Dubai arrested a group of people for public debauchery over a widely-shared video showing naked women posing on a balcony in the city.

Violations of the public decency law in the United Arab Emirates, including for nudity and other ‘lewd behaviour’, carry penalties of up to six months in prison and a 5,000 dirham (£983) fine.

The sharing of pornographic material is also punishable with prison time and hefty fines under the country’s laws, which are based on Islamic law, or Shariah.

The 15 models in the naked photoshoot were part of a publicity stunt for an Israeli website, The Sun reports.

Late on Saturday, videos and photographs depicting over a dozen naked women, lined up on a balcony while being filmed in Dubai’s upmarket Marina neighbourhood in broad daylight, splashed across social media.

It came as a shock in the federation of seven Arab sheikhdoms, where tamer behaviour, like kissing in public or drinking alcohol without a licence, has landed people in jail.

State-linked newspaper The National reported it appeared to be a ‘publicity stunt,’ without elaborating.

Dubai police said those arrested over the ‘indecent’ video had been referred to the public prosecution.

‘Such unacceptable behaviours,’ the police statement said, ‘do not reflect the values and ethics of Emirati society.’

The UAE, while liberal in many regards compared to its Middle Eastern neighbours, has strict laws governing expression.

People have been jailed for their comments and videos online.

The country’s majority state-owned telecom companies block access to major pornographic websites.
