Dubai, a city in the United Arab
Emirates, sometimes called the “shopping capital” of the Middle East is
also boasted as one of the world’s top transit spots. While Dubai may
have a healthy economy there is still a dark side. Australian Alicia
Gali discovered just how dark it could be living under sharia law.
Gali took a job in the UAE with one of the world’s biggest hotel chains,
Starwood. What happened next makes this story a must-watch for every Woman planning on travelling through the region.
Gali was using her
laptop in the hotel’s staff bar when her drink was spiked. She awoke to
a nightmare beyond belief: she had been savagely raped by three of her
colleagues. Alone and frightened, she took herself to hospital.
What
Alicia didn’t know is that under the UAE’s strict sharia laws, if the
perpetrator does not confess, a rape cannot be convicted without four
adult Muslim male witnesses. She was charged with having illicit sex
outside marriage, and thrown in a filthy jail cell for eight months.
