Dubai: Flash your middle finger in the face of someone in public and get deported, authorities in Dubai have warned.

''Expatriates should start having better control over their behaviour in public because, according to the Federal Penal Law, deportation has become obligatory against those who are incriminated of committing an indecent gesture or behaving obscenely in public such as flashing their middle finger, kissing, cuddling or hugging etc,” a chief prosecutor was quoted as saying by Gulf News.

''Emirates who commit the same crime face imprisonment, fine or both,'' he added.
