Drugs smuggler’ wins UK transfer after seven years in rat-infested jail

His mother Teresa, who sold her home to pay for the fight to free him, said: "I have waited seven years for the day I would be reunited with my son. Now we can start re-building our lives. Throughout this long ordeal we have had huge support, in particular from Fair Trials International."

Jago Russell, chief executive of Fair Trials International, said: "It is a travesty of justice that Patrick still has a guilty conviction."
