据维权组织“迪拜被拘者”（Detained in Dubai）消息，一名英国TikTok网红被控在迪拜持刀杀人，她自称系正当防卫，可能面临处决。
23岁的布鲁克·乔治来自英格兰东部肯特郡，曾在百货公司工作，她被控杀害一名在脸书上结识的26岁身份不明男子。
迪拜警方以预谋杀人罪起诉乔治。据“迪拜被拘者”网站消息，若被判有罪，她可能会被枪决。该组织官网称其宗旨是“确保海湾地区外国国民免受不当拘留、错误起诉以及其他一切侵犯人权的行为”，并自称是“兼具法律咨询、传播机构、智库与人权组织属性的机构”。

据该组织介绍，乔治的TikTok账号发布的内容多为对口型热门歌曲和化妆教程，她在与该男子发展网恋关系后前往迪拜。
她将第一次为期一周的迪拜之行描述为“我人生中最快乐的时光”。
“迪拜被拘者”称，当时她“沉浸在这段经历的喜悦中”，并对自己感受到的一些“担忧”置之不理，其中包括第一次访期间安排的“身着比基尼的专业写真拍摄”。
6月1日，乔治在Instagram上发布了多条迪拜之行的视频和照片，配文写道：“上帝自有安排。相信它，践行它，享受它。”
“乞求拿回护照”
然而，据“迪拜被拘者”透露，乔治第二次访问阿联酋时，该男子的行为发生了变化。据该维权组织援引乔治本人的说法，他变得“越来越控制欲强且充满攻击性”。
乔治告诉朋友“情况不对劲”，并称她在该男子的电脑上看到了“令人不安的视频”。当她发现对方只给自己订了单程机票时，她“感到惊慌，想要回家”。
在一家爱尔兰酒吧度过一晚后，据“迪拜被拘者”称，该男子喝醉了，“在车里对她实施殴打，回到公寓后继续施暴”。
据该组织消息，乔治的家人表示，在他殴打她后，乔治惊慌失措地联系了他们。在安排好返程航班后，她声称回到公寓拿护照时，发现自己的物品被扔得到处都是。

“家人称，她当时哭着乞求拿回护照，却被狠狠一拳打在脸上并遭到袭击，”“迪拜被拘者”在声明中表示，“布鲁克称她当时担心自己的生命安全，伸手抓起身边的一把菜刀，出于自卫采取了行动。”
乔治的母亲特雷扎·乔治在接受“迪拜被拘者”采访时表示，事件发生前一天，“她比平时安静，不像往常那样开心活泼，但她没有告诉我原因”。该组织多年来一直在为在阿联酋及其他海湾国家被捕的外国国民发声维权。
她补充道，在得知 alleged stabbing 事件后，“我从未见过女儿如此害怕。她 uncontrollably 地哭泣。我能看到她的一只眼睛肿得很厉害，快要睁不开了。”
奢华承诺
警方于6月22日凌晨逮捕了乔治。她目前被关押在迪拜警察局，在另一起无关案件中，英国一项死因调查显示，2011年39岁的英国人李·布拉德利·布朗在被铐在椅子上并遭殴打后，于羁押期间死亡。
据“迪拜被拘者”称，乔治被迫在没有女警官在场的情况下，当着男警官的面脱光衣服，在向家人讲述这段遭遇时她崩溃大哭。
“迪拜被拘者”表示，她不被允许联系英国大使馆，且被迫在没有律师在场的情况下作出供述。
迪拜警方和阿联酋大使馆未立即回应哥伦比亚广播公司新闻通过“迪拜被拘者”就乔治及其家人提出的指控置评的请求。
英国外交部发言人告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻：“我们正在与一名在阿联酋被拘留的英国女性保持联系，我们正在为她的家人提供支持，并已与当地当局取得联系。”

“这起案件引发了人们对针对女性的暴力、自卫权、正当程序以及在海外被拘留的英国国民所受待遇的严重担忧，”“迪拜被拘者”首席执行官拉达·斯特林在声明中表示。
该组织正推动乔治获得公平审判，并表示应在调查期间对她准予保释。
斯特林称，近年来，越来越多的女性，包括网红、模特和旅行者，“被以奢华生活方式、有偿工作、假期或恋爱关系的承诺引诱至迪拜，随后却声称自己遭受了……性剥削、胁迫、暴力或其他有辱人格的待遇”。
该组织称，在迪拜，强奸受害者可能会因通奸等罪名被起诉。2024年的一起案件中，爱尔兰公民托里·陶伊在逃离 alleged 家庭暴力并试图自杀后被拘留，据“迪拜被拘者”消息。
British influencer faces possible execution in Dubai after allegedly stabbing man to death, claiming self-defense, advocacy group says

A British TikTok influencer is facing possible execution in Dubai after allegedly stabbing a man to death in what she says was an act of self-defense, according to the advocacy group Detained in Dubai.
Brooke George, 23, a former department store worker from Kent in eastern England, has been charged with the murder of an unidentified 26-year-old man she met on Facebook.
Dubai police have charged George with premeditated murder. If found guilty, she may be executed by firing squad, according to the website Detained in Dubai— a group that works to “ensure the security of foreign nationals in the Gulf from unjust detention, wrongful prosecution, and all other violations of their human rights,” according to its website. It bills itself as “equal parts legal advisory, communications agency, think tank, and human rights organisation.”

George, whose TikTok account features videos of her mouthing along to popular songs and doing make-up tutorials, traveled to Dubai after developing an online relationship with the man, the group says.
She described her first visit, which lasted a week, as “the time of my life.”
DiD said in a statement she was “wrapped up in the joy of the experience” and had brushed aside certain “concerns” she felt, including over a “bikini clad professional photo shoot arranged during her first visit.”
On June 1, George posted several videos and pictures from Dubai on Instagram with the caption: “God has a plan. Trust it, Live it, Enjoy it.”
“Begging for her passport”
On George’s second visit to the UAE, however, the man’s behavior changed, DiD said. According to the advocacy group’s statement, which cites George directly, he became “increasingly controlling and abusive.”
George told her friends that “things weren’t right,” according to DiD, and claimed she saw “disturbing videos” on the man’s computer. When she discovered that he had only booked her a one-way ticket, she was left “alarmed and wanting to return home.”
After a night at an Irish bar, DiD says the man became intoxicated and “assaulted her in the car before continuing the attack after they returned to the apartment.”
George’s family has said she contacted them in a panic after he hit her, according to the group. After arranging a flight home, she claims she found her belongings strewn about the apartment when she went back to get her passport.

“The family say she was crying and begging for her passport’s return when she was punched hard in the face and attacked,” DiD said in its statement. “Brooke says she feared for her life and, reaching for a kitchen knife within her grasp, acted in self defense.”
The day before the incident, “she was quieter and not her usual happy, cheerful self, but she did not tell me why,” George’s mother, Thereza George, was quoted as telling the DiD, which has campaigned for years on behalf of foreign nationals arrested in the United Arab Emirates and other Gulf states.
Speaking to George after the alleged stabbing, she added that she had “never seen my daughter so frightened in my life. She was crying uncontrollably. I could see that one of her eyes was badly swollen and was beginning to close.”
Promises of luxury
Police arrested George in the early hours of June 22. She is being held at the Bur Dubai police station, where, in an unrelated case, a U.K. inquest found that 39-year-old Briton Lee Bradley Brown had died in custody in 2011 after being handcuffed to a chair and beaten.
George was forced to strip naked in front of male officers, with no female officers present, according DiD, and broke down in tears when telling her family of the ordeal.
DiD said she has not been allowed to contact the British embassy and has been forced to make statements without a lawyer present.
The Dubai Police and UAE Embassy did not immediately respond to a CBS News request for comment on the allegations made by George and her family via DiD.
A spokesperson for the British Foreign Office told CBS News, “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.”

“This case raises serious concerns about violence against women, the right to self defence, due process and the treatment of British nationals detained overseas,” Detained in Dubai CEO Radha Stirling said in the statement.
The group is pushing for George to receive a fair trial, and it says she should be released on bail pending the investigation.
Stirling said that in recent years, increasing numbers of women, including influencers, models and travelers, have been “lured to Dubai with promises of luxury lifestyles, paid work, holidays or romantic relationships, only to later allege that they were subjected to …sexual exploitation, coercion, violence or other degrading treatment.”
Rape victims have faced prosecution in Dubai for offenses such as extra-marital sex, according to the group. In one 2024 incident, Irish national Tori Towey was detained after attempting to flee alleged domestic abuse and attempting suicide, according to DiD.
