Brain tumour boy Ashya King free of cancer, parents say

The parents of five-year-old Ashya King, who were detained after taking him abroad for brain tumour treatment, say their son is now free of cancer.

Brett and Naghemeh King were held in prison in Madrid last summer after taking their son from hospital in Southampton against medical advice.
They took him to receive treatment in Prague that was unavailable in the UK.
Mr King has told the Sun newspaper a recent scan showed "no evidence" of the tumour.
Mr and Mrs King took Ashya out of Southampton General Hospital last August, after disagreeing with doctors about his treatment and deciding to seek proton beam treatment abroad.
They took him to Spain but were arrested at the request of the British authorities and held in Madrid's Soto Del Real prison.
The couple were kept in the jail for more than 24 hours before being released when efforts to extradite them to the UK were abandoned, with prosecutors saying they were happy any risk to Ashya's life "was not as great or immediate as... originally thought".
