Relatives of a British man facing execution in China for drug trafficking have arrived in the country to appeal to the Chinese authorities for clemency.
Akmal Shaikh, 53, from London was convicted of smuggling heroin and is due to be executed on Tuesday, the BBC reports.
If he is, he will be the first European Union national executed by China in 50 years.
Two of his cousins intend to deliver petitions seeking a legal review to China's Supreme People's Court and to the local court in the north-western city of Urumqi where Mr Shaikh was arrested in September 2007.
He has denied all knowledge of the 4kg of heroin found in his possession. His family say he has bipolar disorder and was duped by a criminal gang into unwittingly carrying drugs for them.
The BBC cites legal charity Reprieve saying Mr Shaikh has not been told he will be executed and will only find out 24 hours in advance.
