A British man imprisoned when his child was only a few months old has been released after being detained in Yemen without charge or trial for five years.
Luke Symons, according to Amnesty International, had been held by Houthi rebels in Sanaa, the capital of the civil war-torn country, since his arrest at a security checkpoint in April 2017.
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said Mr Symons would"soon be reunited with his family" after an ordeal that saw him"allegedly mistreated and put in solitary confinement".Kevin Brennan, MP for Cardiff West, had campaigned for his constituent's release and raised his unlawful imprisonment with Boris Johnson at Prime Minister's Questions in January.
"Luke was 25 when he was unlawfully detained by the Houthis. His son was only a few months old at the time."
