THE mum of a Brit law student detained in a hellish Dubai prison and sentenced to life has set up a desperate new fundraiser.
Mia O’Brien, from Huyton, Merseyside, was handed a 25 year prison sentence after she was found with 50g of cocaine, her mum previously revealed.

It comes after Mia’s GoFundMe account was suddenly deleted on Friday for violating guidelines.
Taking a swipe at GoFundMe, Danielle McKenna revealed her bank details on Facebook, pleading people to donate directly to her.
Blasting the fundraiser website, she said: “I am going to set up my own, as they [GoFundMe] are nitpicking at everything.”
It comes after heartbroken Danielle issued a plea earlier this week saying Mia had “never done a bad thing in her life”.
Her family said she had made a “very stupid mistake” before being thrown behind bars in a nightmare jail in United Arab Emirates.
The drugs Mia was caught with last October have a street value in the UK of £2,500.
The huge amount of cocaine was found inside Mia’s apartment in “one big chunk”.
The Liverpool University law student was arrested alongside two other people – her friend and the friend’s boyfriend.
All three were charged with drug dealing.
