Brian Glendinning's dad has helped Hussein Yactine's family financially while the Lebanese national remains in prison in Baghdad.
A Scots dad who was locked up in an Iraqi jail has spoken of the heartbreaking moment his cell mate begged him 'don't forget about me' when he was released.
"I made a promise when I left there to him that I would do everything that I can to help him because he helped me when I was inside there. Brian previously spoke of the horrendous conditions he faced in the jail, saying he felt physically and mentally drained, and "stripped of his dignity". He said prisoners struggled to get basic services including food, water, electricity and access to a phone without payment to guards.
Interpol and extradition expert Radha Stirling, who represented Brian, said she will be in touch with Hussein's bank and Qatar's Ministry of Interior. While they work to get Hussein out of the prison, which Brian previous described as being 'rat-infested', the dad has kept his friend's wife up to date with all their effort.
"He’ll be hurting really badly just now as well because it’s coming up to Christmas and he has a young family. The way he talked about his wife and kids, that’s all he wants in life and that’s why he was over there, to earn good money to provide for them, a better life.
