Reprieve's client Shabbir Zaib was acquitted in February after 17 months in a Pakistani prison.

In this interview with Scotland's Daily Record, he talks about how he came to be imprisoned for a crime he did not commit, and how it feels to be back home in Glasgow.

Shabbir, pictured here with Reprieve lawyer Marc Callcutt, has been helping with Reprieve's Pakistan Police Torture Project.
