A Norwegian woman who was jailed for illicit sex in Dubai after reporting that she had been raped, has been pardoned and told she is free to leave.Norwegian Marte Deborah Dalelv's sentencing to 16 months in jail last week caused outrage in the West.She told Associated Press that she had been given back her passport by the public prosecutor's office and that her sentence had been dropped.
The 42-year-old, who works as an interior designer in Qatar, was on a business trip to Dubai in March when the incident is alleged to have taken place.She said she had been out at a bar with colleagues and on returning to her hotel at around 3am asked a male colleague to escort her to her room, because the building was large and confusing and she was concerned she would not be able to find her way.On arriving at a room she realised was not hers she claims the man pulled her inside despite her objecting.
