Kissing pair's appeal over conviction lost
A British woman, 25-year-old Charlotte Adams, jailed in Dubai with her friend, 24-year-old Ayman Najafi, for kissing each other has lost their appeal against their conviction.
The pair was arrested after a dinner at a restaurant in November, as a local 38-year-old woman accused them of breaking the country's laws by kissing on the mouth in public. She said was offended by their behavior at the restaurant where she was dinning with her daughter.
Najafi said he was "very disappointed". The pair plans to make a second appeal.
