Is he going to continue with his research?

luciemorrismarr Murder a journalist by slicing him up, let an obviously innocent man go free.. Was thinking; the western idiots will forget about our Jack The Ripper murder so our patsy Trump can keep doing business with us?.. win win.. Oh unless you’re the western journalist

They are afraid of the consequences of his imprisonment.The United Arab Emirates is afraid of market turmoil. They are realistic

He was probably CIA or British Intelligence and they did a spy swap. 🙄

He was an innocent. He is a Phd student in two famouse Universities in UK and his thesis will be published..

One lucky guy. I think there is more to this then what GOV is saying, especially when they have him in the country with 2 IDs and proof of all his contacts and these were produced in court. MI6 never confirm their agents in any case.

Excellent news. Big of them to pardon man who has done nothing wrong.

It’s the Russians fault Fake News

He should NEVER have been arrested or tried. This is why I am scared to travel to that part of the world on holiday. They will arrest you if they don't like the look of you on trumped up charges.

It must be the British oil
