A Dubai appeals court yesterday upheld a one-month prison sentence for a British couple convicted of kissing in a restaurant Ayman Najafi and Charlotte Adams -- both in their 20s -- were arrested after an Emirati woman claimed they exchanged a passionate kiss in a restaurant where she and her daughter were having dinner. Najafi and Adams attended the hearing, but did not speak. Their lawyer, Khalaf al-Hosany, told the court in a previous hearing that they kissed on the cheek as a greeting and "never intended to break the law." Appeals court judge Iysar Fouad upheld the conviction, the jail time and a fine of USD 270 (Rs 14,000) each. They will be deported after serving their sentences. The couple has 30 days to appeal the ruling in a higher court.
