DUBAI (Reuters) - Dubai has pardoned a Norwegian woman who was sentenced to jail for illicit sex after she reported being raped by a colleague while on a visit to the emirate, the public prosecutor's office said on Monday.

Marte Deborah Dalelv, 24, had been awaiting an appeal hearing against her 16-month sentence, handed down last week after a court in the Gulf Arab emirate found her guilty of having sex outside marriage, drinking alcohol and making false statements.
