PLEASE please sign the petition which has been signed by Amnesty and which will be taken to the UAE Embassy in London, calling for the immediate release of Marnie Pearce from prison in Dubai and for a deportation order to be lifted so that Marnie can be near her children - and encourage all those you know to sign it! Thank you!

Marnie is currently imprisoned unfairly in Dubai on charges of adultery after she insists she was framed by her Egyptian ex-husband so that he could gain sole custody of their children, ages 4 and 7. Despite denying these charges Marnie was not even allowed to speak in court to defend either herself or the rights of her children and was convicted on suspect evidence including emails which were clearly doctored and which would never have been allowed as evidence in a Western court. Her ex-husband has now been awarded full custody, as under Shariah law a woman automatically loses custody of her children if she is found guilty of adultery, as she is deemed to be an unfit mother... Marnie is set to be deported from Dubai to the UK without her children after completing her sentence and faces not seeing her boys again until they are legally able to find her at the age of 18.
The British government has done virtually nothing to help Marnie and we now need to also put pressure on the Foreign Secretary to do the right thing and to intervene in this terrible situation on behalf of Marnie and her children!
Please email the Foreign Secretary David Miliband, his email address is [email protected]/write to or email your local MP.
