BBC: Two Britons found guilty of having sex on a Dubai beach could have their jail terms increased, their lawyer has said.
Michelle Palmer, 36, of Oakham, Rutland, and Vince Acors, 34, of Bromley, south-east London, were both sentenced to three months in prison.
But Hassan Matter said prosecutors had lodged an appeal, arguing the sentence was "not enough", and a judge would now have to decide whether to extend it.
Mr Matter has already lodged an appeal against the pair's convictions.
Both were found guilty of unmarried sex and public indecency at Dubai's Court of First Instance earlier this month.
They were also fined 1,000 dirhams (£160; $350) for being drunk in a public place and issued with deportation orders. Beach Sex Sentence ‘May Increase’ >>> | October 27, 2008
