A British teacher locked up in a Chinese prison for overstaying his visa has described his "horrific" stretch. Daniel Thompson, 48, had been working in Jinan since October 2019, teaching English to local people.
But he says police found his visa had expired last month - and he was jailed for a week at a mountain prison. Daniel says he was locked up along with Chinese people who had also committed low-level crimes like gambling.
He says boredom was the biggest challenge - although cramped conditions and a toilet that was little more than a hole in ground were also tough. Daniel, who says he has never previously been in trouble with the law, is now back home in Bournemouth.
