Matthew Hedges: jailed British academic pardoned by UAE

Jeremy_Hunt has done a fantastic job. Thought Foreign Secretary was right job for him. Makes BorisJohnson look like a buffoon he is. Well done .

Pardon? (Hahaha...!).

2/2. What about the hundreds of Brits languishing in the UAE jails and trapped that followed foreignoffice ukinuae standard advice & didn’t go to media. I call on the UAE Jeremy_Hunt & to review every sentence & civil judgement handed down in the UAE. MatthewHedges

1/2. I welcome the release of MatthewHedges. Fantastic news for him & his family. This only goes to show that the UAE & it’s legal system is unsafe. Why does it take a public & media outcry to win justice rather than a fair & transparent judicial system.

What sort of negotiation is this?

Off back home for MI5 debriefing?

Quid pro quo?

Dude is definitely a spy and an 'academic' as well. Nice try.

howiedubz I bet Trump negotiated it seeing as the UK can't negotiate a bend.

JohnWreford What an amazing result! This could have dragged on for months. Best Christmas ever! 🎄

Pardoned for what? Being a victim of mistaken arrest?

Good news. If course they are still saving face by giving him a pardon rather than dismissing all charges.

Very happy to read this. Looking forward to the whole story.

And I have just pardoned myself for eating too much during Thanksgiving as part of my National Day of I-Fucking-Made-This-Up-To-Get-Out-of-It-Fast tradition.
