The family of a Scottish man jailed in Iraq over a £20,000 debt to a Qatar bank have staged a protest outside of Holyrood demanding action from the Government to bring him home.

Brian Glendinning, from Fife, was detained when he travelled to Basra to start a new job on September 4. The 43-year-old was due to start work as a construction engineer when he was cuffed at border control after an Interpol Red Notice from Qatar flashed up against his name.

He has been in prison since and told he may be extradited to Qatar to serve a two-year prison sentence.Brian's loved ones staged a protest outside the Scottish Parliament building to call on officials to put pressure on the Government to help free him.

Brian's brother John Glendinning, who has been tirelessly campaigning for his sibling’s release, added: "We hope today's demonstration will get the attention of the Scottish Government.
