Australian appeals jail term for drugs
United Arab Emirates, Local, 7/18/1997
An Australian air stewardess held in the United Arab Emirates on drug charges since March has appealed against a four-year jail term imposed on her last month, an Australian diplomat said on July 15.
"Julia Alexander has appealed the prison sentence and we would offer her all the assistance she might need," John Yewdall, Australian Consul-General in Dubai said.
The appeal will be heard on July 28.
"While we respect the law of the United Arab Emirates and the right of any country to apply its law, we are concerned that we have one of our nationals in jail," he said, stressing there would be no intervention at the government level.
