Wide exterior of Norwegian Seamens centre STORYLINE A Norwegian woman at the centre of a Dubai rape claim dispute said that officials have dropped her 16-month sentence for having sex outside marriage and she is now free to leave the country. "I got my passport back. I am officially free, and it's an amazing feeling," she told reporters on Monday. The sentence against the 24-year-old Dalelv last week stirred widespread outrage in the West and highlighted the frequent clashes between Dubai's Western-friendly image and its Islamic-based legal codes. Dalelv claimed she was raped in March by a co-worker, but was charged with having sex outside marriage after going to the police. Her decision to go public about the sentence last week in a series of interviews appeared to put pressure on authorities in Dubai and tarnish the city's reputation as a cosmopolitan hub, including possible fallout on its high-profile bid for the 2020 World Expo. The AP does not identify the names of alleged sexual assault victims, but Dalelv went public voluntarily to talk to the media. Dalelv worked for an interior design firm in Qatar and was in Dubai for a business meeting when the alleged rape took place. There was no immediate word from Dubai officials, including whether the pardon was linked to traditions of clemency during the current Islamic holy month of Ramadan. Norway's Foreign Minister said very high level Norwegian officials, including himself, had been in daily contact with counterparts in the United Arab Emirates since the verdict against Dalelv. Barth Eide told the Norwegian news agency NTB that international media attention and Norway's diplomatic measures helped Dalelv, who was free on appeal with her next court hearing scheduled for early September. "I was so nervous, so nervous because I didn't know to expect, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs, he went out yesterday and at an interview said he was very positive about tomorrow but then again I didn't know what to expect so I was just keeping my mind open," Dalelv said. Dalelv said she planned to leave the UAE soon. She had been staying at a Norwegian-linked aid centre.
