Mohammed Ibrahim ‘Mo’ Munshi’s son says his father’s health concerns are not being adequately treatedFamily of British-Australian jailed in Mongolia fear he will not survive sentenceThe family of a British-Australian man jailed in Mongolia over a soured business deal fear he will not survive his seven-year prison sentence, after the country’s supreme court upheld his controversial conviction. Last month, Mongolia’s supreme court upheld his conviction, while reducing his original 11-year sentence to seven years on a technicality. Munshi’s son, Arif, told the Guardian from Perth, where Munshi’s children and elderly parents live, that they fear he will not survive a long prison sentence, particularly during Mongolia’s harsh winters. The dispute dragged on until mid-2017, when Munshi was arrested, tried, convicted in a two-day trial and jailed. In court documents from the trial, Baz alleged he had been tricked into investing in the projects and defrauded of his investment.
