Three Britons Released From Dubai Jail Under Amnesty
Three Britons have been released from a Dubai prison three months into four-years sentences under a Ramadan amnesty.
Grant Cameron, Suneet Jeerth and Karl Williams were jailed in April for possession of a quantity of synthetic cannabis known as spice.
The men claim that they were held for seven months before being tried, during which time they were tortured with electric shocks and by having guns held to their heads.
The three denied all charges of "consumption and possession with intent to distribute".
Cameron is now back in London, while Jeerh and Williams are awaiting deportation from Dubai.
