Confessions of an Innocent Man: Torture and Survival in a Saudi Prison
William Sampson
Video link - http://www.booktv.org/ram/publiclives/1205/btv121705_2.ram

William Sampson was arrested in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in December of 2000, accused of detonating a series of lethal car bombs. His imprisonment and subsequent torture at the hands of his Saudi captors is the subject of his book, "Confessions of an Innocent Man: Torture and Survival in a Saudi Prison." Over a two-year period, Mr. Sampson was beaten and tortured and sentenced to death after a covert trial. The book documents his incarceration as well as his eventual exoneration by a British inquest.

William Sampson has worked in biochemical research and pharmaceutical marketing. He was working as a marketing consultant for the Saudi Industrial Development Fund in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia at the time of his arrest.
