On trial in Dubai, Australian begs Sunland: do the humane thing

ONE of two Australian executives trapped in Dubai for almost four years, fighting property corruption charges, has pleaded with Gold Coast developer Sunland to do the ''humane thing'' and tell prosecutors it has no case against him.

Former Dubai Waterfront executive Marcus Lee - in his first public statement since he and colleague Matt Joyce were arrested in January 2009 and jailed for nine months - has asked Sunland's executive chairman Soheil Abedian and development manager David Brown to set the record straight.

Tomorrow, Dubai prosecutors will start a second trial against Mr Joyce, Mr Lee and others after a court ruled that evidence in their first marathon trial did not match the charges.
