Jailed woman set to be freed

A BRITISH woman jailed in the United Arab Emirates for adultery is to be freed early and can stay in the country to fight for custody of her two children, it was reported yesterday.

Marnie Pearce, 40, lost her sons after a Dubai court found she had cheated on her Egyptian ex-husband and sentenced her to three months in prison. Her former husband, Ihab El Labban, was granted custody of the couple’s boys.
