Quotes:
Sara Qurashi (daughter) aged 13 (
Dubai
):
"I am so worried about dad's
life. My dad is innocent, he owes nobody any money. 3 different court reports
also say this, yet they keep my dad in prison. Why?"
Brother in-law (
London
):
"
Everyone is devasted about what has happened
and concerned about his health. How can a man who is proven as a victim of
fraud remain imprisoned?
."
