Lobbying and Public Affairs

Stirling publically and legally challenges corruption by countries which which continue to  to accept, recognise and act on Red Notice requests from notorious and habitual abusers of the system

Qatar has been widely accused of abusing the Interpol red notice system, particularly in their use of Interpol for civil and financial disputes. “Qatar and other Gulf States, use red notices to target foreign nationals who have fallen out with local officials or businesses,” Stirling explained, “Very often, they have no intention of genuinely pursuing extradition; rather, they just weaponise Interpol as a tactic of harassment and extortion, knowing the massive difficulties a Red Notice causes individuals who are listed. Interpol has allowed itself to be used as an instrument of injustice, with locals in the Gulf invoking it as a threat against foreign nationals to force them into silent capitulation, or to extort money from them. For the overwhelming majority of our clients listed on Interpol by Qatar, their cases involve financial disputes, bounced cheques, or cases in which they themselves were the victims of fraud, embezzlement, or wrongful termination. None of these conform with Interpol’s own rules on data collection, but the Red Notices are issued anyway, without proper vetting.”

Lobbying & Public Affairs – Influencing Change, Defending Rights


Legal battles are rarely fought in the courtroom alone—legislation, political pressure, and international relations often play a crucial role in securing justice.


When individuals or businesses are unfairly targeted by wrongful criminal allegations, corporate sabotage, INTERPOL abuse, or politically motivated prosecutions, a strong legal defence must be accompanied by a strategic lobbying and public affairs campaign.


At Detained in Dubai, Radha Stirling has a proven track record of working with legislators, think tanks, politicians, and organisations to influence change, expose judicial misconduct, and protect individuals from abuses of power. Whether lobbying governments to intervene in wrongful detentions, working with parliamentary groups to amend unfair laws, or engaging global institutions to challenge international legal abuses, we ensure that our clients’ cases are heard at the highest levels.


Why Lobbying is Critical in Legal Disputes

✅ Government & Diplomatic Intervention – When judicial systems are weaponised for financial or political gain, government involvement can be the deciding factor in securing a release, stopping an extradition, or overturning a wrongful conviction.


✅ Exposing Legal Corruption & Misuse of Law – Many cases involve corporate rivals or powerful individuals using the legal system to attack business competitors. Stirling works to bring these abuses to light, ensuring justice is served.


✅ INTERPOL & Extradition Challenges – Wrongful Red Notices can destroy lives, limiting travel, freezing assets, and leading to arrest. Strategic lobbying has been instrumental in reforming INTERPOL policies and preventing wrongful extraditions.


✅ Advocacy for Law Reform – Working with politicians and think tanks, we push for legislative changes to protect victims of unfair detentions, financial crime manipulation, and corporate sabotage.


We have successfully engaged political leaders, diplomatic channels, and advocacy groups to secure the release of wrongfully detained individuals, protect business owners from fraudulent criminal charges, and challenge unfair judicial practices in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, and beyond. Our work has influenced policy discussions in the UK Parliament, the US Congress, and international human rights forums, ensuring that detained individuals and victims of injustice are not forgotten.


If you are facing wrongful prosecution, business sabotage, or politically motivated legal actions, a strong legal defence is just one part of the battle. Detained in Dubai’s lobbying and public affairs services give you a voice in the halls of power—where real change happens.
