British TikTok content creator Brooke George, a 23-year-old woman, faces a possible death sentence in Dubai. She is accused of killing a man she met through the social network Facebook in the United Arab Emirates.

The accusation and risk of punishment

According to human rights organisations, if Brooke George is convicted, she could face execution by firing squad. The case has attracted international attention and raised questions about both the functioning of the local court system and the protection of women's rights in the United Arab Emirates.
