Protesters have marched through central London calling for the release of a teenager in prison in Dubai for having sex with a 17-year-old British girl.
Marcus Fakana, from Tottenham in north London, was jailed last month after being convicted of having sex with the girl, who has now turned 18, when they were on holiday in September.
The age of consent in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is 18. The girl’s mother reported him to the authorities in the UAE.
Campaigners marched through Westminster on Saturday, holding a banner that read “Bring Marcus home” as they walked from Parliament Square to Downing Street.
He should've vacationed in Afghanistan instead.
