Amina Al-Jeffery's lawyer: 'A compelling case'

The lawyer for Amina Al-Jeffery - a British-Saudi woman who claimed she was being held against her will in Saudi Arabia - has spoken of her delight at winning the case.

Speaking to BBC Newsnight, Anne-Marie Hutchinson QC, said it had been the most "compelling" case she has worked on.

Earlier on Wednesday, the High Court in London ruled that she must be allowed to return. Amina Al-Jeffery claimed her father had locked her up against her will. Her father Mohammed, said he did it to "save her life".
