My husband is locked up in a Saudi jail and I don't know why

FAMILY'S ANGUISH AS DAD-OF-FOUR IS GIVEN 10-YEAR PRISON TERM

- By PAUL BRITTON

A MAN from Manchester jailed for 10 years in Saudi Arabia, reportedly over a tweet he wrote seven years ago, has done nothing wrong and is being failed by the UK, his family have said.

Dad-of-four Ahmed al-Doush, 41, a banking business analyst of Sudanese heritage, is believed to have been jailed by a Saudi judge on Monday after being held for nine months in al-Hair Prison in the capital, Riyadh.

Non-governmental organisation Reprieve is supporting Mr al-Doush's worried family as they try to get more information and secure his release.

His wife, Amaher Nour, was told by a lawyer who represented him in the Saudi court that her husband had been jailed, but further information has been sparse.
