6:43Now PlayingTraveling to the UAE? Don’t. They charge victims of rape with crimes. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"A British woman in her twenties who reported that she was raped by two British men while on holiday in Dubai last month has been charged with having extramarital sex.
The two men, who face no charges, have flown back to the UK.
The woman, who alleged she was attacked by the two men in their hotel room after sharing a drink with them, was arrested and had her passport confiscated, according to Detained in Dubai (DID), a nonprofit organisation assisting people facing legal challenges in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
A spokesperson for DID, which is working with the woman’s lawyers in the UAE, confirmed to BuzzFeed News that the woman had been charged and was awaiting details of a trial.
The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is on bail but unable to leave the country unless the charges are dropped or she is able to successfully appeal them in court. The DID spokesperson said that the appeal process “could take months”, and that court charges could amount to around £80,000.
“She is very frightened over there,” the spokesperson added.
In a statement, a UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokesperson said: “We are supporting a British woman in relation to this case and will remain in contact with her family.”
The woman’s family are reported to be crowdfunding £25,000 to contribute towards the legal costs.”*
