Is this news already discussed or did it become such a normal occurrence that no one talks about it anymore?

What did really happen?

the irony being that she is an unmarried pregnant mother who would be under risk of arrest if she lived in dubai.

Thanks Shiva

Perhaps she should try living here before making broad sweeping statements like this:

Klass, who lives in Hertfordshire, said: "I was delighted to be able to support this campaign in Dubai. I first came to Dubai 15 years ago and a lot has changed since then. It really is an amazing place and whether you’re a family on holiday or someone working here, it has everything to offer."


Good grief!
