A British law student who “made a very stupid mistake” has been jailed for life in Dubai, her family claimed in a now deleted post. Mia O’Brien’s mother Danielle McKenna, 46, launched a heartfelt plea on a fundraising site for help with travel and legal fees, according to reports.
That ‘stupid mistake’ being what, exactly? You don’t need to worry about that little detail, just give us the money!
O’Brien, 23, from Huyton, Liverpool, got “mixed up” with the wrong so-called friends and “is now paying the price”, Mrs McKenna said without specific details.
I think we can guess!
It is understood GoFundMe removed the page because it violates its ban on the raising of funds for the legal defence of certain alleged crimes.
A clue! A verifiable clue! As if ‘young and dumb strumpet from Liverpool alone in Dubai’ wasn’t enough of one.
Mrs McKenna reportedly told the Daily Mail: “She’s going through it at the minute. She’s just been transferred to another prison after getting a life sentence. “It’s been a massive shock.”
She must not have paid a lot of attention during her law lectures then?
The family has not disclosed the crime Mia has been convicted of, but the country generally hands down life sentences for the following offences: drug trafficking and possession; murder or attempted murder; human trafficking and terrorism-related activities. A life sentence in the UAE typically means 25 years of imprisonment.
Whereas over here, she’d probably have been out in 25 weeks. If she ever saw any jail time at all. Oh well…

It's gone from " she's never used drugs" to "it was just one line and a big boy did it and ran away" in a heartbeat. Why is it recently that all these young women that have been caught smuggling, who are pure as the driven snow, are all gallivanting around the world without seemingly having jobs? Useful idiots
Telegraph has the details. Coke- admits snorting it up in the article. Oh dear...
