In this episode, Radha Stirling discusses the case of a 74 year old British grandfather and engineer who has been detained in Doha for over six years.
Ranald's detention serves as a warning to the construction industry that Qatar has so heavily relied upon to support its growth and preparation for FIFA 2022. Stirling talks to life long friend David Plowman and son, Ross Crook about Ranald's ongoing ordeal.
The question remains, what diplomatic efforts will the UK government make to secure Ranald's freedom? Friends and supporters of Ranald have created a Facebook group to lobby for his freedom.
