The son-in-law of a British geologist jailed in Iraq has told LBC his prison term is 'worse than a death sentence'
Mr Tasker said that the Government had been "quietly lobbied" to avoid the death penalty, but instead his father-in-law had been handed "a slow, agonising version of the death penalty".
Mr Tasker said his family believed he was capable of dealing with the situation, and it was not until around 10 days later that they began to get worried and called the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office . Authorities said they could be considered archaeological pieces because they date back more than 200 years.
"In court the judge stated that he accepted that Jim had no criminal intent and indeed that he didn't even know that what he was doing was a crime, and yet in the same breath sentenced him to 15 years in jail," said Mr Tasker.Picture: Supplied
