Frik Potgieter, a South African citizen, and Peter Huxham, a dual South African and United Kingdom citizen, have been in jail following what their families describe as trumped-up drug charges. “Each day they remain in prison adds to their hardship and to the distress of our families, who have been separated from them without any meaningful contact.
