edition.cnn.com/2016/11/19/middleeast/dubai-british-tourist-rape-arrest-claim/index.html QUOTE: UK woman arrested in Dubai after reporting rape, group saysNov. 20, 2016 (CNN)A British tourist has been arrested in Dubai on charges of extramarital sex after telling police a group of British nationals raped her in the United Arab Emirates, according to a UK-based legal advice group called Detained in Dubai. "This is tremendously disturbing," Radha Stirling, the group's founder and director, said in a statement. "Police regularly fail to differentiate between consensual intercourse and violent rape. "Victims go to them expecting justice, and end up being prosecuted. They not only invalidate their (victimization); they actually punish them for it." A UK Foreign Office spokeswoman said she could not discuss specific details, saying: "We are supporting a British woman in relation to this case and will remain in contact with her family." It is understood that the Foreign Office is also in contact with two other British nationals. The press office for the British Consulate in Dubai said it was supporting a British woman and her family, adding: "We have raised the case with the UAE Government, and would like to see it progress as quickly as possible." Dubai is one of seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates, or UAE. According to Detained in Dubai, the woman was "gang-raped" by the British nationals. Stirling said the woman had been released on bail but had had her passport confiscated. If convicted of consensual sex, the woman faces anywhere from a month to three years behind bars, followed by deportation, according to Faisal Alzarooni, a criminal defense lawyer who represents clients who've been charged with both rape and consensual sex in Dubai. Avoid Dubai and it's bigoted culture!
