        Very sorry to read of your plight. I hope that this situation can be resolved, with the appropriate level of Govt. and FCO assistance, as soon as possible.

        Sharia law is likely to be enforced soon in the UK because of the influx of migrants. So if you don’t like the laws in Islamic countries then you are not going to like it in the UK either.

        Hes a spy if he doesnt have permission to do this. Its like watching your neighbours have sex through their window without them knowing. Thats spying. Deserved imo. Do you reckon you can spy in the UK or US and get away with it?

        Sounds like he was spying, or incredibly ignorant. If you're going to go to a country to research their security you gain permission from the authorities to do so first.
