British Man Detained 18 Years for Civil Debt | UK News
Description
A British man, Ryan Cornelius, 72, has been imprisoned in the UAE for 18 years on a bank fraud charge he denies — despite a Bahrain court ruling he’d already overpaid his debt. UN human rights experts condemn his detention as arbitrary and warn that his prolonged solitary confinement may amount to torture. They’re demanding his immediate release and medical care, urging both UAE and UK governments to intervene. His wife’s public plea and repeated clemency requests — including during religious holidays — have gone unanswered, as the UAE insists legal procedures were followed and the UK continues to offer consular support.
