Woman 'forged passport for fake cards'

Dubai Criminal Court heard the case of a Chinese woman accused of forging a passport by putting a resident entry stamp of Dubai International Airport.

In yesterday's session, the defendant confessed to other charges but denied that she had forged the passport.

The court postponed the case to May 2.
