A 23-YEAR-OLD British TikTok influencer is facing potential execution by firing squad in Dubai after being charged with the premeditated murder of her boyfriend, a human rights group told BBC.
Brooke George, of Kent, England, claims she stabbed the man in self-defence during a violent domestic dispute.
The advocacy organisation Detained in Dubai stated that George was arrested on June 22. The group alleges her partner had become abusive, punched her, withheld her passport and attacked her in their apartment.
She feared for her life and, reaching for a kitchen knife within her grasp, acted in self-defence,” Detained in Dubai CEO Radha Stirling said, according to the BBC.
