Norwegian woman sentenced to jail for being raped is 'freed to go'


You would remember the woman that I reported to you that was sentenced to 16 months in jail for being raped in Dubia?... She has been pardoned and is free to leave Dubai.  Interior designer Marte Deborah Dalelv, 24, was on a business trip in Dubai when she says she was raped in March.

She reported the attack to the police, but was charged with perjury, having extramarital sex and drinking alcohol, receiving a 16-month prison sentence. The case has angered rights groups and the Norwegian authorities.
