Ryan Cornelius, a British businessman imprisoned for over 16 years in Dubai, has called upon the Foreign Office for protection against aggressive prison authorities, who are allegedly coercing him to falsify claims about his human rights. Despite a UN statement declaring the fraud charges against him to be untrue, Cornelius is facing an extended sentence until 2038, making his situation increasingly precarious as he fears for his safety within the prison environment.
The UAE government claims that Ryan Cornelius illegally procured funds from Dubai Islamic Bank through bribery, a charge he and his supporters vehemently deny. They argue that the DIB is effectively keeping him imprisoned to retain ownership of property they claim is theirs, crafted under the pretext of compensation. Calls for clemency, backed by the UK Foreign Office, have been rebuffed, further complicating Cornelius' struggle for freedom as he approaches his 70th birthday.
