Christopher Ems

I was wearing a shirt and trousers because I was going to a lunch meeting in Dubai.

We get to what they call the interrogation.

So you get led into a big room, no water, and there's probably now about 100 guys in this one room.

I think it's the only time in my entire prison journey in Saudi where I actually did feel a bit threatened because you're in a room with mixed category prisoners.

People have just been picked up and they're basically waiting to be read their rights.

That's basically what happened.

So eventually I'm sat there.

I've got no watch.

I've got no, they take everything from you.

I've got no phone.

So I've got no idea what time it is and how long I'm in here.

But I see the sun starting to go down.

So I think I've been in here for at least a few hours, no water.

And I'm starting to say it's boiling hot in this room.

I get led eventually into a room with these two gentlemen wearing traditional sort of Saudi dress.

So what they call Thode, which is the big white gown that Saudi men wear.

And they say, Mr. Ems, we are responding to a red, Interpol red notice.

From the FBI, we'll read you what we can here.

And they explain its indictment based on the same charges, Virgil, a violation of AIPA.

They said, are you guilty?
