Mia O’Brien, 23, a British law student from Liverpool, has been sentenced to life in a Dubai prison over what her family calls “a very stupid mistake.” Her mother, devastated and unable to see her since last October, says Mia had a spotless record but fell in with the wrong crowd. While the exact crime hasn’t been confirmed, reports suggest it may be drug-related. The U.K. Foreign Office says it is supporting the family as they navigate the case.
