James Hutchinson has been told he won't be a free man until he pays thousands of pounds in compensation to the family of a cyclist he killed in a road accident back in 2013. Detained in Dubai has called upon Hutchinson's MP to raise his plight to UAE Ambassador and the Foreign Office.
14th August 2023: Radha Stirling, CEO of human rights organisation Detained in Dubai, has been in touch with James and his family. James was apprehended at the Mall of the Emirates by CID officers. Richard Drax, MP confirmed in March that he would forward correspondence to to diplomatic officials within the FCDO after Hutchinson complained about the British Embassy's lack of support.
Stirling, has long been a critic of the FCDO's role in their "comparably disappointing assistance for Brits facing injustice abroad". In contrast, Stirling thanked the US State Department, Senator Cruz and Congresswoman Jackson-Lee for their assistance in resolving Sassy Trucker's case last week.
