8:03Now PlayingDavid Haigh tells Sky News that he shares the 'same story' as Matthew Hedges.
The former managing director of Leeds United was jailed in the UAE for 22 months, after he was 'tricked' into travelling to Dubai for a new job. Mr Haigh claims that he was 'tortured and abused' during his time in jail but has hailed the media for getting 'justice for people in the UAE'.
Matthew Hedges, who was also jailed in the UAE, has arrived back in the UK after being pardoned.
The British PhD student was initially given a life sentence but was pardoned yesterday after intervention by the Foreign Secretary.
