Police in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have withdrawn the charges against Irish woman Tori Towey and have closed the case, it has been confirmed. The 28-year-old from Roscommon was facing charges including attempted suicide and consuming alcohol and had her passport destroyed. She had been working as a flight attendant based in Dubai - the largest city in the UAE. The Dubai Public Prosecution has confirmed to the BBC that it has dropped the case. Radha Stirling, a lawyer and human rights advocate who runs the Detained in Dubai group, said Ms Towey and her mother were "over the moon" at the news.
