Sandy Mitchell was one of seven men incarcerated in Saudi Arabia for the bombing death of Christopher Rodway, a British National living in Riyadh. While in prison, he was tortured and forced to make a televised confession in which he detailed the methods and as to which he and his fellow prisoners committed the crime.〔("I would have confessed to anything" ). ''The Guardian''. 10 May 2005. Retrieved May 26, 2011.〕 He was later granted clemency and returned to the UK, as a result of intense negotiations by Charles, Prince of Wales and possibly a prisoner exchange in the U.S. Mitchell says the bombings were perpetrated by "Islamic extremists" and that he and others charged were victims of a cover-up conspiracy by Saudi authorities.〔Alasdair Palmer. ("They will burn in hell for what they have done to me" ). ''The Daily Telegraph''. 14 May 2005. Retrieved May 26, 2011.〕 Along with Mark Hollingsworth, he wrote ''Saudi Babylon: Torture, Corruption and Cover-Up Inside the House of Saud''. Others charged in connection with the death of Christopher Rodway include Les Walker, Ron Jones, Mike Sedlak, Raf Schyvens, and Bill Sampson.〔〔 Mitchell, Walker, Jones, and Sampson, with the backing of Amnesty International, The Redress Trust, and Interights, sought the right in the British court system to sue Saudi Arabia for their torture. They won a Court of Appeal ruling in 2004, but it was overturned by a 2006 Law Lords ruling based on the 1978 State Immunity Act.〔("Saudi 'torture' Britons lose case" ). BBC. 14 June 2006. Retrieved May 26, 2011.〕 ==References==
