British mum jailed in Bahrain for adultery accusation
Quote:
A British mum was thrown into jail in Bahrain after being accused of cheating on her husband.
Hannah James – who has a four-year-old son with the man – was in prison in for a month where she survived on a diet of rice and water three times a week, according to her family.
Quote:
Under Bahrain's Islamic sharia laws, adultery is considered a serious crime and Hannah was facing years behind bars.
The 26-year-old's family, from Fraserburgh in Aberdeenshire, made a desperate appeal online for help to get her home.
They say she was accused of adultery after trying to leave the country when her husband Jassim Alhaddar became violent
Quote:
Her mum confirmed she has now been released from jail - but still cannot leave Bahrain for legal reasons.
Hannah's family has uploaded pictures to Facebook which they allege show injuries suffered at the hands of Alhaddar, who she met while working in Bahrain.
In an extraordinary interview with Mirror Online, he admitted hitting his wife – but claimed it was in self-defence and that her bruises only appeared because of her "skin colour".
Isn't Bahrain like Qatar or UAE, though? Modern on the outside (which is why white foreigners swarm to those places), but still very conservative & quite barbaric on the inside? Stop blaming ha.
OP, I'm like 100% sure you should include the bit of her getting violently beaten. With the pics in a warning label because that kinda gives background
