A British retired person confronts 350 lashes in Saudi Arabia after cops discovered wine in his auto.

Karl Andree, 74, was apparently captured in Jeddah last August after containers of alcohol were found in the vehicle.

The oil official is being held in troubling conditions in a jail by the Red Sea infamous for torment and congestion.

Sky News reports his youngsters are anxious the fierce sentence he has been given could execute him as his wellbeing has as of now been debilitated by disease, as per reports.

They have been quickly campaigning the British Foreign Office and Saudi powers to secure the arrival of Mr Andree.His child Simon has purportedly approached David Cameron to "by and by mediate and help get our dad home. The Saudi Government will just hear him out."

A Foreign Office representative told Sky News:

"Our international safe haven staff are keeping on helping Mr Andree, including general visits to beware of his welfare, and incessant contact with his attorney and crew.

"Clergymen and senior authorities have raised Mr Andree's case with the Saudi Government and we are effectively looking for his discharge as quickly as time permits."
