Wife of Scots dad facing jail in Qatar distraught after distressing call from Baghdad jail
However, Brian's brother, John Glendinning, claims was only valid for six months and was out of date at the time of his arrest in 2022.
They said: “It’s disheartening when you hear stories from others who have been jailed for over a year before eventually being exonerated and released.Radha Stirling, the extradition crisis consultant who has been supporting the family says John Glendinning has been relentless in his campaigning."It’s a desperate situation and they are well aware that they could lose their beloved family member.
He also told how a judge in Basrah requested the warrant papers from Qatar, which has delayed the process and kept Brian in jail.Radha explains: “If the Ambassador picked up the phone and requested the extradition request be withdrawn, Brian would be promptly released “With the World Cup due to start soon in Qatar this is not the time for the event’s hosts to be in the news for all the wrong reasons and I hope, in this case, good sense can prevail.”However, Foreign Secretary James Cleverly was called on to intervene at a diplomatic level but has so far failed to respond.Other countries like Canada, Malaysia and the US have secured the release of their citizens through diplomacy and Britain needs to do the same.
