āBella has been locked up because she was in the wrong company. Wrong place, wrong time. Wrong boyfriend,ā Heather said.
Heather explained that her granddaughter, who worked as a recruitment consultant for a Leeds-based construction company, had been offered similar work in Dubai by her boss.
However, there had been an issue with her living situation after arriving in the country, which meant that she ended up living with the man she was arrested with.
āShe was arrested with a lad, that was not her boyfriend, who she was staying with because things had fallen through with another house,ā Heather said.
āAll I know is that she rang me a week before all this happened and said that she wasnāt happy and she knew something wasnāt right.ā
She continued: āThere was a whole sequence of events that led up to her, inadvertently, being in this blokeās house, where she didnāt want to be. She didnāt really like him that much.

āHe may be guilty of something, but she isnāt.ā
The exact charges which Isabella has been arrested on have not been made public, with Heather saying she believed it was likely āpossessionā of drugs.
āI donāt know the whole thing. Iām not sure what charges she has been arrested for, only possession of something ā probably drugs, but I donāt know for certain,ā she said.
āBut she is innocent because they have done all the tests and there was nothing in her system.ā
Her family have also revealed the harsh prison conditions she is currently facing, claiming that she has not had access to a shower of a change of clothes behind bars.
āWomen get treated far worse than male prisoners,ā Heather said. āShe hasnāt had a shower for a month, she hasnāt had a change of clothes for three months. She has had nothing.ā

āMy daughter Isabella has been wrongfully detained in Dubai, and we are doing everything we can to prove her innocence and bring her back home,ā reads a statement from Isabellaās mother Lucinda.
