'I was jumping around the cell shouting 'freedom'' Brit who spent two months in custody in Iraq describes moment he was told he was being released
"Brian was held in a holding cell with up to 44 people - a mixture of terrorists, drug dealers, people who murdered their own father, using a shotgun," he said.
He had agreed to take out a £20,000 loan with his bank in Qatar while working in Doha in 2016, but was not able to keep up full repayments when he lost his job. His brother sold his car to help pay his brother's legal bills, which within four weeks of his arrest had soared to £30,000. These include Conor Howard, an engineer from Tranent, East Lothian. He was held in Greece in 2020, under an Interpol warrant, over a conviction for carrying a herb-grinder on a plane trip that stopped in Doha.
