Detained in Dubai said George had not been given access to her embassy and had to make statements without a lawyer present.
The case “raises serious concerns about violence against women, the right to self defence, due process and the treatment of British nationals detained overseas,” Stirling said.
She added: “We are calling for Brooke to be released on bail pending the outcome of the investigation. The UAE has a well documented history of criminalising and revictimising women who report violence.”
Detained in Dubai has called for George to receive “protection, appropriate medical care, legal representation and immediate British consular assistance while the investigation proceeds”.
In a statement, the The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office said: “We are in touch with a British woman detained in the UAE, we are supporting her family, and we are in contact with the local authorities.”
