Tourist disappears from Dubai jail after exposing corrupt police
A British tourist has vanished from a jail he was wrongfully being held in, after he promised to expose the corrupt police behind his arrest.
The family of jailed British footballer Billy Hood fear for his safety as he has “vanished” after vowing to expose the police he claimed framed him.
The 24-year-old has not been in contact with his family after being moved to an Abu Dhabi jail from one of Dubai‘s most notorious prisons, The Sun reported.
Mr Hood’s terrified family are deeply concerned for his wellbeing as he recently claimed he has damning evidence that Dubai police framed him.
A friend of the footballer, from London, even claimed he had been “tortured” and “tasered” in the “hellhole” prison ever since he discussed his bombshell evidence.
Mr Hood’s heartbroken mother Brenda said her son “hasn't even been able to get in touch with his lawyer” since his transfer.
She told the founder and CEO of pressure group Detained in Dubai, Radha Stirling that her son had been cut off from everything.
“I can’t imagine what he’s going through now,” she said.
“He’s been moved from pillar to post and was just finally relieved to be with other British citizens in Dubai when they suddenly moved him to Abu Dhabi.
“He’s going through the most stressful time in his entire life and can’t even communicate with his family, his lawyer or the British Embassy.”
