Radha Stirling, head of campaign group Detained in Dubai, expressed concern for the psychological impact on Marcus Fakana, stating, 'I worry about the impact of Dubai prison on an 18-year-old's life. It wasn't easy to find the words to say to him as he surrendered his freedom.' Her sentiments emphasize the distressing realities faced by young people entangled in legal battles abroad, highlighting a stark reminder of differing cultural norms.
Fakana publicly expressed gratitude for his supporters during his incarceration, sharing a heartfelt message: 'Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout my fight. It has been a long fight, but nothing is hard with my Lord and saviour Jesus Christ guiding me. I'm grateful for all the people who have helped by donating to me and my family of faith for supporting me.' This showcases the emotional resilience he draws from his faith and community.
