A man given a four-year jail sentence has appealed the verdict, with his lawyer arguing that the drugs found on his client were "tampered with".
The 37-year-old Indian man identified as J.M., was charged with smuggling and possessing 0.15 grams of marijuana and 0.29 grams of hashish for personal use.
His lawyer, Saif Al Mutawaa, said the seized drugs were tampered with.
Records said officers said they seized 0.4 grams of hashish at the airport, meanwhile the criminal laboratory report said it weighed 0.29 grams.
"We suspect that someone tampered with this significant piece of evidence. Drug enforcement officers said they seized 'one piece' of the drug, while the criminal laboratory report says 'pieces'," said Al Mutawaa.
