Detained in Dubai is assisting Miss Brooke George, a 23 year old TikToker and former John Lewis worker from Gravesend, Kent who has been charged in Dubai with the murder of a 26 year old British man she met online. The young woman has been charged with premeditated murder and faces the firing squad if convicted.

Human rights organisation Detained in Dubai today called for the immediate safeguarding of Ryan John Michael Pepper, a British father of young children from Ashford, Kent, held in Sharjah CID detention for many months with severely limited family contact.

British father Ryan Pepper has reported that he has been beaten, threatened and psychologically abused inside a UAE detention facility while British officials struggled to obtain meaningful private access to him following repeated safeguarding concerns raised by his devastated family.
