A UK pensioner caught with homemade wine in Saudi Arabia could receive 360 lashes - a punishment his family say would kill him.
Karl Andree, 74, has already spent more than a year in prison since being arrested by Saudi religious police.
His daughter Kirsten Piroth told the BBC her father - who has suffered from three types of cancer - "would not survive" the punishment lashes.
"I cannot believe that they would administer that to an old man because he wouldn't survive it"
The Foreign Office said it was "seeking his release as soon as possible".
Alcohol is illegal in Saudi Arabia, and Mrs Piroth said her father was transporting homemade wine in his car in August 2014 when he was pulled over and arrested.
Mr Andree's one-year prison sentence is now complete, and Mrs Piroth said her family had been "led to believe" the lashes would not be given due to her father's age and health.
But she said there now "seems to be some question mark" over that.
"He's an old man, he's 74, he's survived three types of cancer with very strong cancer treatments, he's asthmatic, he has gout - he's not very well," she said.
"He's got a great spirit but his bodily health is not great and I just feel like he received his sentence and he did his time and I just want him home now
Mrs Piroth said her father had a range of health problems
She said time was "of the essence" due to her father's age, adding that he had "paid for what he did" in Saudi Arabia and should now be released.
Asked if she was happy with the help given by UK authorities, she said: "I don't really understand why it's taking so long because it's my understanding in that system that it needs... a phone call to the right person and he could be released."
The Foreign Office website warns that penalties for possessing alcohol in Saudi Arabia are "severe".
It also warns of Saudi laws against WOMEN DRIVING(lol) adultery, homosexuality and drug smuggling - with the last punishable by death.
So don't get pissed and let your missus drive you home in Life Of Brian land.
