A British man and woman jailed in Dubai for kissing in public have lost their appeal against their conviction. Ayman Najafi, 24, and Charlotte Adams, 25, were sentenced to a month in prison with subsequent deportation and fined about £ 200 for drinking alcohol. The pair were arrested in November after a local woman accused them of breaking the country’s decency laws by kissing on the mouth in a restaurant. Najafi said he was “very disappointed.” The pair plan to make a second appeal. The initial complaint against them was made by a 38-year-old woman who said she was offended by their behavior at the Jumeirah Beach Residence, where she was dining with her daughter. The pair decided not to start their sentence immediately, but the Dubai authorities are holding their passports so they are unable to return to Britain. (BBC)
