Two Britons today lost their appeal against a conviction for kissing in public in Dubai.

Ayman Najafi, 24, and Charlotte Adams, 25, were given a one-month prison sentence by the Gulf resort's authorities.

They were allegedly seen kissing on the mouth in a restaurant, breaching Dubai's strict decency laws.

Ayman Najafi, right, was having dinner with friends and Miss Adams when the alleged incident is said to have taken place

They were arrested by police in November last year and appeared in court last month.

According to reports, a judge at Dubai's Misdemeanours Court heard written evidence from the 38-year-old mother who complained to police.

She said she was offended by their behaviour at the Jumeirah Beach Residence, where she was dining with her daughter.

The judge dismissed Mr Najafi's claim he had merely kissed Miss Adams on the cheek and sentenced both to a month in jail followed by deportation.

The pair were bailed pending today's appeal against the sentence and have now said they will appeal again.

It is understood the Dubai authorities are holding their passports so they cannot leave the country.

Mr Najafi has been working for marketing firm Hay Group in Dubai for about 18 months.

Are they seriously fucking stupid? Everyone knows you can't do that, especially people who actually go/live there.

 

Morons.

I just read about this in our paper. :uhoh:

Fat(wa) chance of that ever happening, as you're dealing with a "mediaeval" mentality. Moreover, I dread to think what would have happened if two guys had been caught kissing there.:stunned:
