British pair faces jail in Dubai over kiss
DUBAI: A British pair caught kissing in public in Dubai face up to a month in jail in the Gulf Arab emirate for indecency after an Emirati mother complained her child had seen their indiscretion.
The pair, a British man living in Dubai and a female friend were arrested on accusations of kissing and touching each other intimately in public and consuming alcohol, their lawyer said. They have been given a months jail sentence. The case is the third time in less than two years in which Britons have hit the headlines by falling foul of decency laws in Dubai, a flashy Muslim emirate popular with sun-seeking Western tourists and expatriates.
A lawyer for the pair, who launched an appeal on Sunday, said there had been no inappropriate kissing and the two were just friends. A verdict on the appeal is expected on April 4.
There was no lip or French kissing. It was just a normal greeting that is not considered offensive, lawyer Khalaf al-Hosani told the court, adding the complainants testimony was contradictory.
The British mans mother in London said her son, Ayman Najafi, had vowed to clear his name. My Ayman is a good boy, hes very wise and mature. I cant believe it, his mother Maida Najafi was quoted as saying in The Independent. He knows the rules over there. He would never do that. He wouldnt even do it over here. reuters
