UAE Royal tortured at least 25 other people....

Wow...and that's just what's on film....
An Abu Dhabi prince already implicated in a torture scandal caught on tape has been filmed torturing at least 25 other people, according to a lawyer representing one of the royal's former business associates.

The Gulf emirate has vowed to investigate after ABC television on April 22 aired a video that appeared to show Sheikh Issa bin Zayed al-Nahayan, a brother of United Arab Emirates president and Abu Dhabi ruler Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahayan, mercilessly beating a man.

The footage, which sparked an outcry among human rights campaigners, was smuggled out of the UAE by Texas businessman Bassam Nabulsi, a US citizen who said he had also been tortured by Sheikh Issa after a fallout with the royal.

Nabulsi's Texas-based lawyer, Anthony Buzbee, wrote to UAE authorities on Friday that he had "more than two hours of video footage showing Sheikh Issa's involvement in the torture of more than 25 people."
