British woman 'gang raped' in Dubai says "I'm petrified out here alone" after she's arrested for extra-marital sex


From The Mirror:
A British woman facing jail for extra-marital sex after reporting an alleged gang rape on holiday in Dubai has told of her "nightmare" and said she's "petrified". 
Zara-Jayne Moisey, 25, told police in the United Arab Emirates she was violently raped by two British men in the city last month. 
But instead of being treated as a victim, Zara, from Widnes, who is single after splitting from her husband, was reportedly locked up on suspicion of extra-marital sex and later charged with the offence. 
Her passport has been confiscated and she now faces a trial, claim her family and friends. 
Her desperate family have now launched an online appeal to raise £25,000 for the legal fees needed to pay for her defence. So far nearly £15,000 has been raised.

I cannot imagine traveling to the ME (except for Israel) but if I did, I would place an order for lost passport and make sure that I had a second copy for emergencies like this. Where is the British embassy on this? Why does the UK govt. tolerate the practice of having their citizen's passports confiscated? In a rational arrangement ALL further commerce between Dubai and GB would halt until this is resolved.

C'mon Anon! That would not be PC! GB, like other enlightened countries would rather go against their own citizens than dare offend ME countries with lots oil. But I agree with you in why would ANY Western woman go the the ME by herself at this time in history?

She went alone to a Misogynist Muslim Country. What did she expect?

I agree. IMO, NO INFIDEL should go to Dubai, or Saudi, or any Muslim/Sharia state.

Especially women.

But, I believe this woman did not go alone. I'm pretty sure she was with her mother.
