Three British men have been jailed for four years each for possession of drugs in Dubai amid claims that they were tortured by police.
Grant Cameron and Suneet Jeerh, both 25, and Karl Williams, 26, all from London, were convicted of possessing a quantity of a synthetic cannabis after being arrested in July last year while on holiday.
The men claim they signed documents in Arabic - a language none of them understands - following their arrests after they were threatened with guns to their heads. Mr Williams also reported having electric shocks administered to his testicles.
Pressure group Reprieve, which campaigns on behalf of prisoners, said the men should be granted clemency and their torture allegations should be thoroughly investigated. Full story...
