A Brisbane woman who claims to have been drugged and raped by co-workers in Dubai plans to sue the Commonwealth of Australia after she was jailed for adultery.
Alicia Gali, 29, has already been granted leave to sue the Le Meridien Al Aqah Beach Resort in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates, alleging her employer breached its workplace obligations by failing to have systems in place to protect workers against assault.
But on Tuesday, Ms Gali will seek leave to sue the Commonwealth in the Brisbane Supreme Court, claiming a consular official failed to warn her that a complaint of rape in Dubai could lead to her being jailed.
Ms Gali spent eight months in a Dubai prison after the alleged assault by three co-workers while drinking at the resort bar in June 2008. More...
