People power leads to Ashya reunion PEOPLE power has led to the parents of cancerstricken Ashya King being reunited with their fiveyear-old son. English prosecutors decided to drop the case against Brett and Naghmeh King after more than 160,000 people signed an online petition demanding the release of the couple, who were being held for an extradition hearing. Prosecutors were left scrambling to get in touch with the Spanish authorities to secure the couple’s release after the public outcry. The parents were finally released on Tuesday evening.

from a UK hospital. This thrust Spain into the spotlight after his parents were arrested and prevented from visiting his hospital bedside. Ashya King was left alone in a Malaga hospital as Brett, 51, and Naghmeh, 45, were remanded in custody on Saturday to await an extradition hearing. They were taken to Madrid to
face a judge leaving Ashya all alone in hospital. It was not until Monday that Ashya’s eldest brother, Naveed, was allowed to visit and comfort the boy. By Tuesday his parents had not seen Ashya since their arrest. The case swept the headlines across the world as first the hunt was launched when Ashya was taken from Southampton
Hospital without the consent of doctors, then he was found and his parents arrested. The search had soon focused on Spain where the family was known to have a holiday home, with Guardia Civil staking out their house near Casares on the Costa del Sol. In fact, he was found at a hostel in Benjarafe in the Axarquia, on Saturday. His parents had posted a YouTube video asking for the hunt to be called off and explaining their actions. In it, Brett said that they were not withdrawing treatment for their son, but rather wanted to seek an alternative not available in the UK.
