Mark Hollingsworth - Szaúdi Babilon

When Sandy Mitchell was arrested in Saudi Arabia in December 2000 for her alleged involvement in two bombings, she thought it was just a misunderstanding and that she would soon be released. But it didn't happen that way. He spent nearly three years in prison, where he was subjected to repeated torture before being forced to sign a confession and confess his crime on Saudi television. Throughout his imprisonment, the Saudi authorities knew that the attacks were carried out by al-Qaeda operatives. Still, Mitchell was detained and not even allowed to contact a lawyer for a year. By the time this happened, Mitchell had already been sentenced to death, but was eventually released before the sentence was carried out. Saudi Babylon is a story of shocking abuses of justice. In addition, it sheds light on an even more disturbing truth: how the British government practically let Mitchell down by pursuing diplomatic diplomacy against the corrupt Saudi royal family, carefully considering Britain's multibillion-dollar arms sales to Saudi Arabia. This powerful account, based on diaries and reports of meetings with ministers and officials, exposes how the British government acts when one of its citizens is wrongfully imprisoned and tortured by a regime with which the country does business.
