British tourist 'gang-raped' in Dubai faces jail for having sex outside marriage
A British tourist allegedly gang-raped in Dubai faces a prison sentence and needs £24,000 for legal fees after police accused her of having "extra-marital sex".
The 25-year-old woman was reportedly arrested and charged after going to the authorities about the alleged attack by two Britons last month.
She is now on bail, but is not allowed to leave the country and is said to be "absolutely terrified" of being imprisoned for breaching strict laws on sex.
The woman, who cannot be identified, was on holiday in Dubai when her ordeal unfolded, The Sun reported.
this is a prime example of Why Westerners should stay out of Muslim Countries, no matter how enlightened they seem on the outside .....
I would hope there is some back channel diplomatic discussions going on
