Sandy Mitchell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sandy Mitchell was one of seven men incarcerated in Saudi Arabia for the bombing death of Christopher Rodway, a Brit living in Riyadh. While in prison, he alleges he was tortured and forced to make a televised confession in which he detailed the methods and as to which he and his fellow prisoners committed the crime. He was later granted clemancy and returned to the UK, as a result of intense negotiations by Charles, Prince of Wales and possibly a prisoner exchange in the U.S.
He, along with his supporters, claim he is innocent, and that the evidence supports his innocence. Furthermore, they claim the bombings were perpetrated by "Islamic extremists" and that they were victims of a cover-up conspiracy by Saudi authorities.
