Dubai pardons Norwegian woman jailed for extramarital sex - FT.com:
"Dubai has pardoned a Norwegian woman jailed for extramarital sex after reporting an alleged rape as the emirate responds to growing international criticism of its legal system.
Following intervention from Oslo, Dubai’s ruler pardoned Marte Deborah Dalelv, who had been sentenced to 16 months in prison for having sex outside of marriage and illegal alcohol consumption after the 24-year-old claimed a colleague raped her during a business trip.
The furore was one of a flurry of embarrassing legal cases that put the spotlight on Dubai’s judicial system as the emirate builds its case to host Expo 2020 ahead of an international vote in November."
