The dark side of Dubai (continued)

Adding a repeat to the list of things not to do in Dubai: Don't get raped.  In this case, the four rapists go free and you go to jail for 8 months for Adultery.

From ABC news
In June 2008 Ms Gali had her drink spiked and was raped by up to four co-workers while working as a beauty salon manager at the international resort.

When she reported the assault to authorities she was jailed on an adultery charge and spent eight months in prison because it is illegal in the UAE to have sex outside marriage.
Ms Gali's lawyer says "There was never a prosecution against anyone for sexual assault or rape"
