A young British woman is in a 'living hell' after being jailed for 25 years in Dubai after being caught with a huge stash of cocaine, her mother has said.
Mia O'Brien, 23, of Huyton, Merseyside, has been given a life sentence after being caught with 50 grams of the Class A drugs in the Middle East in October.
The Liverpool University law student pleaded not guilty to drug offences in court but was convicted by a judge after just a day-long hearing on July 25.
Mia was also fined £100,000 by the court. The amount of cocaine she was found with - 50 grams- has an estimated street value of around £2,500 in the UK.
The pretty blonde is now languishing in a cell in Dubai Central Prison with six other inmates - mainly Nigerian criminals.
