CALLS FOR UK PENSIONER TO BE RELEASED BEFORE LASHES

A British pensioner could die if punished with 360 lashes in Saudi Arabia for being caught with alcohol, according to his family.

74 year-old Karl Andree has been in prison for a year after being arrested by Saudi religious police and found with homemade wine.

His family say they had been led to believe he would be released after his prison sentence, but now fear he will face further punishment.

UK correspondent Tom Swarbrick reports.
