Brit jailed in Dubai for CBD oil has gone ‘off radar’ and can’t be contacted

He was moved from a jail in Dubai to one in Abu Dhabi and hasn't been in touch with his family since

The family of a footballer who was sentenced to decades in a United Arab Emirates (UAE) prison for possession of CBD oil have said they are unable to contact him. Billy Hood was arrested back in January 2021 by Dubai police for being in possession of tiny bottles of CBD vape oil and was subsequently sentenced to 25 years behind bars. Along with claims from a friend that he was tortured into a confession, there have been accusations that the case against the 24-year-old was "manufactured" by police. This has led his family to become increasingly concerned for his welfare after becoming unable to contact him. His mum claims that Hood has not even been able to contact his lawyer since he was moved from a jail in Dubai to one on Abu Dhabi, according to the Sun. Speaking to founder and CEO of UAE legal expertise organisation Detained in Dubai, Radha Stirling, his mum Brenda said: "I can't imagine what he's going through now.

"He's been moved from pillar to post and was just finally relieved to be with other British citizens in Dubai when they suddenly moved him to Abu Dhabi.
