British woman arrested in UAE after reporting gang-rape: ‘They have taken her passport’

The U.K.-based group Detained in Dubai told British newspapers this week that a woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was detained last month after telling police that two men raped her in a hotel. The victim is out on bail, but her passport was taken and she owes nearly $30,000 in legal fees.

​

“The horrible case at hand shows that it is still not safe for victims to report these crimes to the police without the risk of suffering a double punishment,” Radha Stirling, the founder and director of Detained in Dubai, told the newspaper.
