The The UAE authorities should feel ashamed for such an obvious injustice. I am very scared for Matt. I don't know where they are taking him or what will happen now. Our nightmare has gotten even worse.

We have asked for clemency, we will wait to see what happens, matt was held in an undisclosed location in solitary confinement for over five months, with no charge, no lawyer and very limited consular access.

We live in a dangerous neighborhood and national security must be a top priority. Mr. Hedges' family have made a request for clemency and the government is studying that request.

I don't trust the UAE judicial system. The way the case has been handled has been very concerning and against all international standards in spite of what The UAE insist on, contrary to their statements for example, he did not have medical and psychiatric care throughout.

The Foreign Office know this and have made The Foreign Office clear to the The UAE authorities that Matthew is not a spy for The UAE authorities, this whole case has been handled appallingly from the very beginning with no one taking Matthew's case seriously.
