Western pair jailed over sex in Dubai taxi
A British woman and Irish man accused of engaging in sexual activities in a Dubai taxi have been sentenced to three months in prison as well as deportation for breaching the United Arab Emirates' decency laws.
The pair were accused of engaging in sexual activities in a Dubai taxi, but both deny the charges of "breach of honour with consent" and committing "an indecent act in a taxi".
The lawyer for the defence said he would appeal the verdict.

The law should be respected anywhere in the globe. These who try to break the law of the other countries should face the consequences. Europe is built mainly on murals and respect, that is why all citizens of Eu or Uk should not try to impose some illegal acts to other transmitting such shame picture. Well done Dubai Godbless

Seba mitt sena lura ghadhom Malcolm. Wara kollox what kind of sexual activities were doing. Even a french kiss is considered indecent act in Dubai.

@ Justin Spiteri
Are going be? Are going to be? Mr. Spiteri they already are.
Women already are the first class citizens in Europe. As a man you only have such a luxuary if you are gay.
