A British woman facing jail for kissing a man in public in Dubai insisted yesterday that she 'only kissed him on the cheek'. Charlotte Adams, 25, and Ayman Najafi, a British marketing executive, have both been convicted of indecency and illegal drinking. Miss Adams and Mr Najafi were arrested at a busy burger restaurant after a 38-year-old local woman claimed she spotted them kissing on the lips and stroking each others backs. At a court hearing last week, both were sentenced to a month in jail and told they would then be deported upon release.
I am just wondering why people continue to go to this country and believe normal people would be wiser keeping away from Dubai where, for all the luxurious modernisation, they still appear to have laws going back to the dark ages. By the way, Charlotte says Mr Najafi is just an old friend so they are not, nor have ever been a couple. Now she is staying with another friend.
