Ashya King's mother 'cried and prayed' in prison cell

The parents of Ashya King have spoken exclusively to the BBC's Jon Kay about their longing to see and care for their son in hospital, following their release from a Spanish prison.

Brett and Naghemeh King were detained after taking five-year-old Ashya, who has a brain tumour, from a Southampton hospital against medical advice.

British prosecutors withdrew a European arrest warrant on Tuesday night.

Speaking after her release, Mrs King said: "I could not do much, really. All I could do was just cry and pray."
