Beyond disgusting

The Herald reports:

A British tourist allegedly gang-raped in Dubai faces a prison sentence and needs £24,000 (NZ$42,200) for legal fees after police accused her of having “extra-marital sex”.

The 25-year-old woman was reportedly arrested and charged after going to the authorities about the alleged attack by two Britons last month.

She is now on bail, but is not allowed to leave the country and is said to be “absolutely terrified” of being imprisoned for breaching strict laws on sex.

The woman, who cannot be identified, was on holiday in Dubai when her ordeal unfolded, The Sun reported.

She is said to have been lured into a hotel room by two British men, who are alleged to have both raped her while filming the attack.

The woman’s family claimed the men flew home to Britain just hours later.

When she reported the attack to police, the alleged victim was then herself charged with having sex outside marriage.

Maybe the UN Human Rights Council could condemn this, if they are not too busy discussing whether they like the name of NZ’s new Ministry of Vulnerable Children.
