Layla Haddad

Layla Haddad is a reporter with the Wirestork newsroom, where she covers the courts, criminal law and enforcement across the United Arab Emirates. Her beat spans the civil and criminal courts, the public prosecution, policing and the travel-ban system — the areas where legal decisions most directly reach people's daily lives. Layla focuses on turning complex procedural change into clear, accurate reporting: what a new ruling or circular actually says, who it affects, and where the official record can be found. She works from primary sources — court judgments, prosecution statements and government announcements — and attributes every factual claim to a verifiable origin. Her aim is to help readers understand fast-moving legal developments without oversimplifying them, and to make clear the difference between reporting on the law and advising on it. Layla reports in English and Arabic. For story tips or corrections relating to her coverage, readers can contact the Wirestork newsroom.
