Mmmmm

Rache133 They still state he is a spy though. They get their point aver and look good. Friendly countries spy on their friends more than their enemies.

UAE is asking for clemency from the International Community by issuing this pardon, they are not granting clemency. They are trying to evade accountability for a wrongful prosecution

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 & foreignoffice to review every sentence & civil judgement handed down in the UAE.

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

Great job Jeremy_Hunt

...wise move ...to let some steam out of pressure cooker
