The Dubai Criminal Court sentenced an Asian woman to two months in prison for abandoning her newborn daughter in a hospital and attempting to go to her home country. According to the police, the accused gave birth to a baby girl who was taken to the intensive care unit for premature babies. The mom was allowed to leave the hospital, but the baby stayed in the intensive care unit due to her poor health. Three months after her discharge, the mother returned to the hospital but chose not to take her child with her. The cops started looking for the mother and were eventually discovered to have fled the country. BKM/ Expat Media
