Relatives of Jim Fitton were “over the moon” at the news, but said they remained “cautious” about the timeline for his release.
Mr Fitton, 66, of Bath, was jailed for 15 years last month after he tried to leave Iraq with stones and pottery shards picked up during a tour.
Yesterday, his lawyer Thaer Saoud said his appeal against the conviction had been successful, adding: “My client will soon be free.”
Mr Fitton’s son-in-law Sam Tasker, 27, said: “We still have no idea what the timeline looks like and do not want to do any formal interviews until Jim is safely home with us.
