The family of a 74-year-old British pensioner suffering from cancer have made a desperate plea to save him from being publicly flogged 350 times in Saudi Arabia after he was caught with home-made wine.
The children of Karl Andree are worried that the barbaric punishment will kill him after he has already spent a year in a notorious prison in the strict Islamic kingdom.
They say his body is weak from years of cancer treatment and are appealing to David Cameron to personally intervene to bring him home.
Mr Andree, whose wife is dying in a home in the UK, was arrested in Jeddah last year after police found bottles of wine in his car.
He was sentenced to 12 months in prison and flogging for breaching the country’s strict anti-alcohol laws.
He has served his time in jail but is still behind bars waiting for Saudi officials wait to met out their awful punishment.
