Dubai court has sentenced two Britons found guilty of having sex on a Dubai beach to three months in jail, followed by deportation.

Michelle Palmer and Vince Acors had pleaded not guilty to charges of having sex in public and committing an indecent act in public, but guilty to drinking alcohol without a licence. The case has highlighted culture clashes between the luxury tourism industry in Dubai and the conservative Muslim culture of the Gulf Arab region.
