Rather than prolonging his time in legal limbo, he appears to prefer the certainty of serving his sentence while remaining hopeful for an early release.
"It is difficult to have the right words to tell a young man turning himself in for a year in Dubai prison. He’s very brave and kind and I truly hope he will be home soon," Stirling emphasized, reflecting the emotional weight and gravity of the situation.
