Prosecutors are calling for a law to make the possession of so-called “white weapons” illegal.
Currently there is no law that incriminates the possession of knives, swords and other blades, explained Mohammed Al Danhani, head of family prosecution.
Only if such a weapon is used in an attack is the person prosecuted.
“Such cases are increasing, especially among juveniles, therefore a recommendation was sent to the attorney general to initiate this law,” he said.
The counsellor was speaking during the monthly media forum of the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department.
