A court in Ajman sentenced three Asian men for at least one year in prison each after they were convicted of kidnapping a Chinese woman and demanding a ransom of Dh10,000, a newspaper reported on Monday.
The unnamed woman was heading for a restaurant in Bani Yas area in the emirate when a driver stopped his car and politely asked her to come with him for a meal, Emirat Alyoum said.
Two accomplices then jumped into the car and took the woman to an apartment, where they beat her up and threatened to kill her unless she pays them Dh10,000, the paper said.
They also put burned cigarettes on her body while two of them took her clothes off and raped her while she was tied up.
The court sentenced two to one year in jail each for kidnapping and threatening to kill the woman and the third defendant to 18 months for kidnapping, beating and raping the woman.
