Radha Stirling

Radha Stirling founded Detained in Dubai, the British based not for profit organisation to help foreigners abroad, regardless of their citizenship and regardless of their financial status. She campaigns for changes to the United Arab Emirates legal system to improve and develop the process of law in the UAE.

Stirling was born in Florida, USA, grew up in Melbourne, Australia and has lived in London, United Kingdom and Europe for 15 years, save for two years spent in California, USA. Her goal is to directly impact the development of international judicial systems. She works primarily on UAE matters but has told she will be increasing her domain to cover other Middle Eastern countries.

Stirling regularly assists journalists, lawyers and government officials with their combined efforts to prevent human rights abuses, wrongful detention, disappearances and other abuses of justice. Stirling attended Bond University Law School and became active in the Middle Eastern region when her colleague and friend was detained unlawfully. She drove the campaign that lead to his release.

Immediately thereafter, others in similar situations approached her, requesting assistance and so she founded the not for profit organisation Detained in Dubai. She was made Partner of Dubai and Cairo based law firm "Nasser Hashem and Partners" but left the firm after five years. Stirling opened a Civil & Criminal Justice Law Company,"Stirling & Partners", specialising in Extradition and Interpol cases where she has been employed to provide Expert Witness testimony in UAE extradition cases and civil litigation suits as a "country expert".[1]

She reported to be launching a membership based program to provide emergency legal support and trial coverage in the UAE under the brand "Proponence".

Stirling has published articles and videos extensively on social media, often covering debt collection harassment, social media laws, cybercrime laws, Interpol red notice abuse and has publicly campaigned for the release of people detained in the UAE, notably David Haigh, Matt Joyce and Marcus Lee, Safi Qurashi, Scott Richards, Conrad Cliteroe, Gary Cooper and Farzan Atharii.[2]

Stirling appears frequently on popular media such as BBC, Al Jazeera, Guardian and Bloomberg.[3]
