The Davies family from Blackwood say Matthew Davies

who's 25 has been locked up without charge as part of an investigation

His mother says he's sent messages home to say he has little food

At home in Cefn Fforest near Blackwood, she can only look

in horror at the picture on her phone of the prison cell she

They haven't even arrested him, they just locked him up.

They are holding him and just trying to claim money off him all the time.

He's not a baby no more but to me he is my baby.

He is. I just want him home.

Matthew Davies went to Indonesia for work last year.

His first job fell through but he stayed on running a restaurant until

he was arrested last month for alleged immigration irregularities.

His family say he has been kept in shocking conditions.

And within Indonesia itself, the prison in which he is being held

It is notorious for having amongst it, corrupt

politicians and was most recently in the news for housing a crystal

meth factory that was run by prison inmates as well as prison guards.

As a former Foreign Office minister, Kim Howells says he believes

The family need to liaise very closely with

the Foreign Office to find out what conditions are on the ground.

They need to know just how much a lawyer costs.

They need to know what his chances are fighting a case

Or whether or not they can make some sort of ex gratia payment to

the Indonesian government for him to be released and come home.

It's all very mysterious very often and it all depends really,

One of Matthew's friends has told the family he has heard

from people out there that they will probably need about ?10,000 to

Friends and neighbours have already begun pledging to donate money.

He went out for his fame and fortune and make something of himself and

They're a loving family and he's a really nice gentleman

in the community. We are all devastated.

With each hour that passes, Matthew's family fear

The Foreign Office has said it is ready to help, but under the law in

Indonesia Matthew Davies could be detained for 60 days without charge.

Three days before voters goes to the polls in

Scotland leading Welsh politicians have been debating how Wales should

The leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats said its time for

political parties here to form a consensus and speak with one voice.

Plaid Cymru's leader said it should be a matter for the people of Wales

what powers are transferred to Cardiff Bay.

Cemlyn Davies watched the television debate.

What next for Wales? That is the question that has brought leading

politicians to the Senate this evening for a special addition of

the Welsh report. Leighton Andrews and Andrew Davies were joint bike

Kirsty Williams from the Welsh Liberal democrats and Leanne Wood.

Scotland has been promised further powers if it votes against

independence on Thursday but Leanne Wood who has been campaigning for a

yes vote is sceptical. In the event of a no vote, team Westminster have

come up with these promises for Scotland to have additional powers.

I am not convinced it will happen. If you go back to 1979 when there

was a rapper Rendon in Scotland and Wales. Margaret Duchess said if

Scotland voted no there would be additional powers on the table but

it did not happen. Kirsty Williams and her party want a no vote, but

the leader of the Welsh Lib Dems is worried Wales could be forgotten

with the attention centred on Scotland. What worries me is if we

don't get our act together in Wales, Wales will be left out of this

debate. The Westminster government will move forward dealing with

Scotland. There is a responsibility for all abuzz to come together to

speak with one voice to make it to the Westminster government what we

want is for Wales. This arguing will leave Wales on the sidelines and we

will lose out. We need clear consensus moving forward, with a

clear message to Westminster about aspirations for people in Wales to

have more say. For Scottish voters it is a simple choice, yes or no to

independence. Wales' future appears to be more complicated and the

debate here is only just beginning.
