London grandfather Albert Douglas was arrested on 17 December 2021, then beaten and tortured by Emirati prison guards. He suffered serious injuries, including multiple fractures and broken bones. His ordeal has finally come to an end after four hellish years, from which he will never fully recover physically, emotionally, or financially.

Radha Stirling, the founder of Detained in Dubai announced the news on X.  She is relieved Mr Douglas is finally safe.

“Albert arrived safely home to London on Friday the 19th of December, ending four years of arbitrary detention and abuse. During those four years, his case had been raised in Parliament, discussed by Prime Minister Liz Truss, MP’s and members of the House of Lords while simultaneously being neglected by the FCDO.
