The anguished sister of a dad-of-eight has shared shocking details about her brother living in constant fear on death row in Saudi Arabia. Jordanian national Hussain Abu-al-Khair is waiting to be 'put to the sword' in a jail cell no bigger than a 'parking space' after he was arrested in 2014 for drug trafficking charges which he strongly denies, the Mirror reports.
He was then subjected to the 'most severe' form of torture for 12 days straight after his arrest and currently lives in extreme paranoia and terror as the Saudi government refuse to inform when he will be executed. His desperate sister Zainab Abu al-Khair has been fighting his corner ever since his arrest and continues to plead with the world to save his life after she informed the Humans Rights Council in 2019 of the case.
Hussain was seized in 2014 when he was found driving his taxi over a border between Jordan and the Gulf state with 20,000 pills of Captagon, which is a stimulant used in the Middle East. Rights groups argue the taxi driver was unaware he was being used as a drug mule and has been severely punished while the Narco kingpins in the ultra-conservative Sharia state remain at large.
