MAIL Online: A British mother being held in a Dubai prison for adultery has revealed the appalling conditions she is enduring while awaiting her fate.

Sally Antia claims she is being fed food riddled with maggots and shares a toilet and poorly functioning shower with 100 other women.

Conditions are so crowded that she - like every other woman in the underground jail - sleeps toe-to-head with another woman in her single bunk bed.

She regularly washes in water from a bucket.

Mrs Antia and her boyfriend Mark Hawkins, 43, were both arrested in the early hours of May 2 as they walked out of one of Dubai's five-star hotels.

Their arrest followed a complaint by Mrs Antia's estranged husband Vincent made to police that his wife was committing adultery - a crime in the ultra-strict United Arab Emirates. >>> By Dan Newling | Thursday, May 28, 2009
