FIVE-YEAR-OLD Ashya King's parents have been given the go-ahead to take their son to the Czech Republic for proton beam treatment to try to stop his stage-four brain tumour from reappearing.
Brett, 51, and Naghemeh, 45, remain bound by court decisions since the wardship order imposed by Portsmouth city council will not be lifted until the child arrives safely at the central European clinic.
But the British couple has not been charged with any offence and have been speaking face-to-face with a top cancer specialist flown from the UK to the Costa del Sol, where the family had planned to sell their holiday home to raise money for the treatment.
After three days in Madrid's Soto del Real prison whilst Ashya – who has to be fed through a tube, cannot speak and is partially paralysed – was in hospital 700 kilometres away in Málaga, the child's parents said they 'couldn't wait' to see him.
Naghemeh revealed she spent the whole time in the prison cell 'crying and praying', wanting to be there for her son and to turn him over in his sleep every 15 to 20 minutes as he was unable to do so himself, but felt helpless because there was nothing she could do being so far away.
