A REMINDER FOR STUDENTS

Attention to all students of Plekhanov University in Dubai

Due to the current situation in the region, we strongly urge you to remain calm and strictly observe precautionary measures, as well as comply with the laws of the UAE.

OFFICIAL INFORMATION AND PUBLICATIONS

Rely exclusively on official statements issued by the UAE authorities (the Ministry of Interior and other competent bodies).
It is strictly prohibited to:

• disseminate unverified information;
• share rumors, speculation, or personal interpretations of events;
• publish messages that may cause panic or distort facts.

Please note that the UAE government has repeatedly warned that:
the dissemination of false information entails serious administrative and criminal liability, including substantial fines and possible imprisonment.

PHOTO AND VIDEO RECORDING

IT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED TO:

• take photos or videos of incidents, sounds, flyovers, consequences of attacks, or the work of emergency services;
• publish or forward such materials on social networks, messengers, or any digital platforms;
• forward photos or videos created by others, even “for informational purposes.”

Please note:
Photo and video recording in such situations in the UAE is subject to fines and criminal liability, including imprisonment. These measures have been officially clarified by UAE government authorities.

MOVEMENT AND TRAVEL

Under the current “closed airspace” regime in the UAE and neighboring countries, the operation of both regular and evacuation flights is currently not possible.
Land border crossings at the UAE borders with Oman and Saudi Arabia may operate unstably.
We strongly urge all students not to leave the UAE through the border with Oman. This is inadvisable and extremely dangerous.

PERSONAL PREPAREDNESS

It is recommended to always carry with you:

• personal identification documents;
• cash;
• a mobile phone and means of communication;
• fully charged power banks;
• a supply of water, food, and essential medications for at least 1–2 days.
