A Dubai court sentenced two Britons to three months in prison on Thursday and ordered their subsequent deportation for having sex on a beach in the booming Muslim Gulf emirate.
Michelle Palmer, 37, and Vince Acors, 34, were found guilty of having sex in a public place in the early hours of July 5 after drinking heavily.
Both are still free on bail and were not in court to hear the verdict in the highly publicised case.
The defence said it would appeal, although the relatively moderate ruling showed that they only committed an indecent act in public and did not actually have sex.

These guys got off easy for doing that in a Muslim country. They are lucky they were not killed or sentenced to life in prison.
