Fact-Finding Report into the Treatment of British Women in the UAE

This Report sets out the conclusions of a cross-party Fact-Finding Panel of British parliamentarians who have been assembled to consider rights of British women in the United Arab Emirates and whether or not they are adequately protected.

The Report was prepared by Sir Peter Bottomley MP, Baroness Helena Kennedy QC and Debbie Abrahams MP with legal Counsel from Rhys Davies and Ben Keith (IHR Advisors).

The Panel conducted an investigation involving a detailed evidence gathering process, including submissions from human rights organisations, testimony from victims, analysis of legal sources and analysis of press reports and publicly available material.

The Panel held an Open Evidence Session and heard live evidence from three British women, Caitlin McNamara, Asa Hutchinson and Tiina Juahianen, as well as submissions from Counsel, Caoilfhoinn Gallagher QC, on behalf of a fourth complainant. The Panel also heard live submissions from representatives of three leading NGOs.
