Cnn Talk With Max Foster

Political pressure is mounting on the UAE, after a British academic was given a life sentence for spying. 31-year-old Matthew Hedges was jailed for life after a hearing that lasted just 5 minutes, during which he didn't have legal representation. He claims he was in the UAE to conduct research into civil-military relations and the Arab Spring. But the UAE government claims he was spying. So how should the west respond in these kinds of cases? And are regimes like this more emboldened to act with impunity in the current political climate? Max Foster anchors a conversation with Iain Dale, Bonnie Greer and Brian Klaas. via Knit
