Who is Salah Al Bandar ?

Who is Dr Salah Al Bandar ?

He is a British national of Sudanese origin who was happily working as an advisor for the government of Bahrain.

One day, he woke up from his sleep and realised that what he was doing was not right. Something was wrong.. and he was in on the big dark black secret. Something inside him woke up. This thing is called a conscience. Not everybody has it.

He started collecting things from his workplace..hundreds of cheques and documents. He put them altogether in a document - now commonly known as Bandargate. This document was given to a few, in a bid to get it under the nose of the King of Bahrain to see what is happening in his kingdom.

A few days later, Al Bander was picked up from his house, taken for investigation, bundled up into a plane and sent to London in his pyjamas. What is it that Al Bander knew and which the authorities wanted to cover up so badly?
