They thought my husband was a spy
Daniela Tejada said goodbye to her husband at the start of his work trip to the UAE. She expected to see him in two weeks 鈥� but he disappeared.
Two years ago, a young British man called Matthew Hedges said goodbye to his wife Daniela, and boarded a plane to the United Arab Emirates. He was doing a doctorate at Durham University, and was embarking on a two-week research trip. But that trip turned into an unimaginable nightmare when Matthew was accused of being a spy for the British government and put on trial for espionage. Daniela fought with everything she had, to get him out. They share their story with Outlook's Jo Fidgen.
