A businesswoman who accused three men of gang rape has been arrested in
Dubai and faces trial on charges of adultery.

Touria Tiouli, 39, from Limoges, in France, has had her passport
confiscated and cannot leave Dubai after being charged under the emirate's
Sharia law.

This declares any sexual relationship outside marriage to be illegal.

Mme Tiouli was on a business trip last October when, she alleges, she was
raped by three men who offered her a lift home from a nightclub.

She reported the attack immediately to the Dubai police, who after
investigating her claim arrested her rather than those she accused.

One of the men admitted to having "consensual sex" with Mme Tiouli, which
made her, in the eyes of Dubai's judiciary, guilty of both adultery and
making a false rape accusation. She could face up to 18 months in prison.
NONE OF THE MEN HAS BEEN CHARGED.
