First of all this happened in Dubai not the magic kingdom of Saudi which is very different. Most things are alowed here including drinking and prositution. From my own info these people made the cardinal sin of getting into an argument with a local woman. They should have said sorry and walked away, they didn't and when the police came they had technically broken the law by drinking without a licenece and kissing in public. The police had no option but to take them in.

Once you are involved withe the law out here you are going to be in trouble and they will throw all they can at you. Now they have gone public and to the western press the UAE will not want to back down they will lose the appeal and spend a few nights in a loverly jail and then get thrown out. At least one month is only 23 days in Dubai.
