A university graduate is back home after spending months in a Dubai jail.

Robert Dalton, from Gravesend, was imprisoned for having a microscopic speck of cannabis in his pocket.

He was stopped and searched after arriving at Dubai’s international airport, while on holiday with friends in November last year.

Officials allegedly found traces of the drug in a small amount of fluff in his pocket.

The 25-year-old was sentenced to four years in prison but has now been granted clemency along with 11 other prisoners, including Radio 1 DJ Grooverider, who was also arrested in November 2007 for the same offence.
