A holidaymaker from the UK died after being beaten and starved in a Dubai police station, an inquest was told.
Lee Brown’s family have accused the British Foreign Office of failing to intervene to get him out of the notorious jail.
The 39-year-old flew to the United Arab Emirates in April 2011 en route to Indonesia to visit his girlfriend.
He was taken to the Bur Dubai police station after being accused of getting into an altercation with a maid at the Burj Al Arab Hotel and died there six days later.
Officials claimed he had beaten himself up by ‘throwing his arms around’ but his alleged mistreatment at the hands of guards was relayed to his family by fellow inmates, Walthamstow Coroner’s Courts was told.
