The parents of five-year-old Ashya King, who were jailed when they took him abroad for brain cancer treatment, have declared their son has made a "miracle" recovery.

They said his life was saved because he was given proton therapy treatment not availablefor him on the NHS in Britain.

The Proton Therapy Centre (PTC) in Prague, where he received the treatment last year, said it was "thrilled" to hear news that a recent scan showed no sign of a tumour.

Naghmeh and Brett King sparked an international manhunt last summer by removing their child from hospital in Southampton without medical consent.

Ms King has told the Sun the news was "incredible".

"If we had left Ashya with the NHS in Britain, he would not be with us today. He was too weak and would not have survived," she told the newspaper.

Ashya was finally allowed to undergo treatment at the PTC for brain cancer after a long legal battle fought by his parents and he has since been recovering in Spain.

Jana Kulhankova, marketing director at the centre, said she had not seen the latest scan but has been in regular contact with Ashya's doctor, Hernan Cortes-Funes, since his treatment ended.
