Brian Glendinning to arrive in Edinburgh tomorrow

After two months in Iraqi jail, the Scottish construction engineer is due to arrive at Edinburgh airport tomorrow.

He will be greeted by family and friends after the traumatic ordeal. “Brian will be flying out from Iraq tonight. He is relieved and excited to be coming home and will be met at the airport in an emotional reunion”, announced crisis manager Radha Stirling who has been assisting the family.

“After intense diplomatic efforts, Brian will make it home before the World Cup but this is hardly a victory when this should never have happened. He was wrongfully detained on the basis of a Qatar National Bank issued Interpol Red Notice which violated Interpol’s charter. The excruciating resulting trauma has not been compensated. Qatar has issued no apology and nor have they been penalised by Interpol.
