A Scots man jailed in Iraq has issued a desperate plea to Rishi Sunak to help bring him home after he was detained over a £20,000 debt to a Qatar bank. Brian Glendinning, 43, has been held over an Interpol Red Notice issued by Qatar National Bank (QNB) after he was arrested in Basra International Airport on September 4.
The QNB has since issued a clearance note stamped by Qatar authorities and no longer wants the father-of-three extradited but this has not been communicated to Iraqi authorities. Brian will be held until Iraq receives a diplomatic note from Qatar.
Brian, from Kincardine, Fife, said he is worried for his life as the traumatic experience takes its toll on his health. He is begging the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary to intervene and help bring him home to his worried family as the debt has now been paid.
