She is accused of stabbing him to death, but alleges she was repeatedly assaulted and acted in self-defence.
The former John Lewis shop assistant is now being held at the notorious Bur Dubai prison and faces the death penalty by firing squad if convicted.
But a human rights group is urging authorities to treat the incident as a domestic abuse case and to release George on bail pending an investigation.
Detained in Dubai CEO Radha Stirling said: “She reached for a knife after being attacked and punched in the face. Authorities must treat her as a domestic violence survivor while they investigate.”

George said she met the unnamed man on Facebook and the pair flew to Dubai for a week initially, which she described as the “time of my life”.
But during their second trip, the influencer said she saw his behaviour change dramatically.
She alleges he became increasingly controlling and abusive, and that she discovered he had only booked her a one way ticket, leaving her alarmed and wanting to return home.
According to George, after an evening at Caffreys Bar in Jumeirah Village, he became intoxicated and assaulted her in the car before continuing the attack after they returned to the apartment.
The 23-year-old’s family said she contacted them in a state of panic after being punched repeatedly.
