The family of a British father sentenced to 10 years in a Saudi Arabia jail over a tweet have claimed he has been 'badly' failed by the UK government.
Ahmed al-Doush, a senior business analyst at Bank of America, had lived in Manchester with his wife and children before the day of his arrest.
Plain clothes officers detained the Sudan-born father-of-four as he prepared to fly home to the UK from King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on August 31 last year with his family.
He was subsequently held in a maximum security prison under the country's strict anti-terrorism laws, on charges that included criticising the government on social media and associating with a London-based Saudi dissident.
But now, his distraught wife Amaher Nour has spoken out, alleging he is 'just another statistic in a long list of British citizens detained abroad'.
