BBC News Online
Two Britons arrested in Dubai on suspicion of involvement in the London bombings claim they were abused, threatened and deprived of sleep. The West Yorkshire men, who protest their innocence, say they and a third UK man in Dubai were held for 10 days.Labour MP Shahid Malik urged the government to investigate. The Foreign Office said it would ask Dubai for an investigation if the men wished. The two men say they were arrested in a restaurant on 21 July and freed 10 days later without an apology. A Foreign Office spokesman said it was confirming the dates over which the men had been held, but that while they were in custody "our staff gained full consular access to ensure all of their immediate welfare needs were addressed".
