Interior designer Marte Deborah Dalelv was on a business trip in Dubai when she says she was raped. The 24-year-old reported the March attack to the police but found herself charged with having extramarital sex, drinking alcohol, and perjury. Convicted earlier this week, she says she is appealing against the verdict. The appeal hearing is scheduled for early September.
Describing the sentence as "very harsh", she told the AFP news agency: "I am very nervous and tense. But I hope for the best and I take one day at a time. I just have to get through this."
The case has angered rights groups and the authorities in Norway.
Where in Africa do you think this kinda thing can happen? hmmmn?
