DUBAI // A Pakistani man jailed for three months for molesting a British tourist at Dubai International Airport has had his sentence upheld.
A A, 26, told the Criminal Court she was in terminal 3 at around 10.30pm on November 2 last year after arriving on a flight from Glasgow when she saw S K, 24.
“I asked him where the arrivals area was and he said I should take the lift. When I took the lift he jumped in,” said A A.
She said A A asked if she was married and when she said no he tried to hug her then touched her breast.
“I pushed him away and as the lift opened I ran out and headed to a police officer and reported him,” A A said.
S K confessed to sexual assault at a hearing last month. The Dubai Appeals Court upheld the sentence.
He will be deported after completing his jail term.

How the bonus system works
The two riders are among several riders in the UAE to receive the top payment of £10,000 under the Thank You Fund of £16 million (Dh80m), which was announced in conjunction with Deliveroo's £8 billion (Dh40bn) stock market listing earlier this year.
The £10,000 (Dh50,000) payment is made to those riders who have completed the highest number of orders in each market.
There are also riders who will receive payments of £1,000 (Dh5,000) and £500 (Dh2,500).
All riders who have worked with Deliveroo for at least one year and completed 2,000 orders will receive £200 (Dh1,000), the company said when it announced the scheme.
