Couple Found Guilty of Kissing in Public

A British couple jailed in Dubai for kissing in public have lost their appeal against their conviction.

Ayman Najafi, 24, and Charlotte Adams, 25, were sentenced to a month in prison with subsequent deportation and fined about £200 for drinking alcohol.

The couple were arrested in November after a local woman accused them of breaking the country's decency laws by kissing on the mouth in a restaurant.
...

The couple's defence lawyers said the woman - who did not appear in court - had not seen the kiss herself, but had been told by her two-year-old child that the girl had seen the couple kissing.

So, in Dubai, a two year old can report an offense to her parent and the parent reports it to the police and the perps are convicted - ultimately because a two year reported the crime.

Maybe that should read "aware" of Islamic culture?
