TikTok influencer charged with Dubai murder
A 23-year-old TikTok influencer charged with the murder of her boyfriend in Dubai is facing death by firing squad, a human rights group has said.
Brooke George, from Gravesend, Kent, has been charged over the stabbing of a man who she was in a relationship with after they met online, advocacy group Detained in Dubai said.
The group said she claimed she grabbed a knife in self-defence during a violent attack by her partner in the UAE. The organisation called for her to be released on bail and for the case to be dealt with as domestic violence.
The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office said it was supporting a British woman detained in the UAE and her family.
Former John Lewis worker George was arrested in the early hours of 22 June and charged with premeditated murder.
She faces execution under UAE laws if convicted.
