A courtroom was evacuated on Wednesday after a prisoner threatened to stab himself with a pen.
The Emirati, serving four years in jail for using drugs, made the threat at Abu Dhabi Court of Appeal after demanding he be sent to rehabilitation.
According to the law, the chief justice said, only first-time offenders were offered rehab and the defendant was a repeat offender.
After being taken out from court the man re-entered, grabbed a pen, broke it in half and made the threat before the situation was brought to control.

Mia Man’s tips for fermentation
- Start with a simple recipe such as yogurt or sauerkraut
- Keep your hands and kitchen tools clean. Sanitize knives, cutting boards, tongs and storage jars with boiling water before you start.
- Mold is bad: the colour pink is a sign of mold. If yogurt turns pink as it ferments, you need to discard it and start again. For kraut, if you remove the top leaves and see any sign of mold, you should discard the batch.
- Always use clean, closed, airtight lids and containers such as mason jars when fermenting yogurt and kraut. Keep the lid closed to prevent insects and contaminants from getting in.
