THE brother of a British man condemned by Theresa May to a two-year stretch on death row in the US demanded yesterday the Home Secretary apologises for being “needlessly cruel.”

Asperger’s sufferer Talha Ahsan’s return to Britain is imminent after a plea bargain was struck last year when he accepted the charges of conspiracy and materially supporting terrorist organisations.

Mr Ahsan had been held without trial in solitary confinement at the Supermax prison Northern Correctional Facility since 2012.
