Woman jailed for prostitution

The Dubai Criminal Court of First Instance yesterday sentenced a 23-year-old woman from Uzbekistan, M.H., to six months in jail followed by deportation for indulging in prostitution.

On January 2, Sergeant F.A. was called by a taxi driver, S.A., to Freej Murar area to solve a dispute with a woman passenger, M.H.

S.A. told the police that M.H. boarded the taxi from Deira to Bur Dubai. At the end of the trip, she told him she had only a Dh1,000 note. When the driver tried to get change at a food outlet, he was told the Dh1,000 note was counterfeit.
During interrogation, M.H. said she got the note from a customer with whom she had sex in a hotel. Source
