Brit detained in Dubai undergoes surgery from prison beating

A British national has been admitted to hospital to repair a dislocated shoulder that he has endured for five months following physical beatings from prison guards. A doctor finally saw the grandfather and was shocked that he had not been treated, having suffered in pain until now.

Londoner Albert Douglas, had no idea that he could possibly be jailed in Dubai over bounced cheques he didn’t write. He had a successful business and had been a long term expat. He loved Dubai and had complete faith in the country until the unthinkable happened. He was accused of being involved in his son’s business which had irrecoverably declined due to factors beyond his control. He knew he was innocent and had substantial evidence to prove it. He had faith in the legal system finding him innocent on this basis and so decided to remain in the country and resolve the situation.
