BBC Fake Britain on Billy Barclay’s detention in Ras Al Khaimah - Radha Stirling, Detained in Dubai

William Barclay had been accused of trying to exchange a fake £20 note during a family holiday.

Radha Stirling, of Detained in Dubai, who represented Mr Barclay, said that without international support and publicity, he could have been held for many months, if not years, which has been the case with other British nationals.

"The (UK) embassy did nothing for me. The government over there only started helping me last night because of Radha Stirling's work.  "If it wasn't for the press, I wouldn't be back today."
