Bahrain releases three British bankers

London-based The Sunday Telegraph broke the news on 19 December that the Bahraini authorities had lifted their travel ban on three British bankers, Alistair Macleod, Anthony James and Cliff Giddings, nearly 18 months after it was imposed in the wake of the collapse of Awal Bank, where they all worked.

Mr McLeod and Mr James each expressed their gratitude to the Crown Prince of Bahrain, Salman ibn Hamad ibn Isa al-Khalifa, for personally intervening to secure their release.
