Two British women who were charged in a drug case were sentenced to life in prison in the United Arab Emirates.
Anne Kidd, 32, and Anna Hamilton, 22, were convicted of using and distributing drugs. A British man, Daniel Mallouf, 28, received 10 years for “intent to traffic” drugs.
Prisoners sentenced to life in the UAE are typically paroled after 25 years. Convictions and sentences can be appealed.
