Former British soldier and Irish grandfather John Murphy, 59, is stranded, destitute, and in urgent need of medical care in Dubai after being exonerated of false charges that first landed him in jail.
Although innocent, Murphy has never been able to rebuild his life. Instead, he has been left in legal limbo for years. Homelessness is illegal in Dubai, but when Murphy tried to surrender himself to police, they refused to take him in.
