A young Norwegian woman has been sentenced to 16 months in jail after she reported a rape in Dubai.
The 25-year-old was in the United Arab Emirates on a business trip when she was raped and reported the assault to the local police.
Dubai police did not believe her, and instead took her passport and jailed her on suspicion of having had sex outside marriage.

So, the laws in Dubai allow for the police to arrest people on suspicion of sex outside of marriage when reporting a rape? For memory a similar thing happened to an Australian tourist who was raped overseas, where for memory the government/police arrested her instead of her rapist. Laws like these need to change. I don't rally against religions, but when they do this kind of thing, I'm happy to pick a fight with them.
