A Spanish judge ordered the immediate and unconditional release of the parents of a five-year-old brain tumor patient. Both were detained in Madrid for taking their sick son out of the hospital.

The family's reunion is expected to happen on Wednesday after the Spanish court decided to free the British couple Brett and Naghemeh King on Tuesday after prosecutors in England agreed to drop plans of deporting them to the United Kingdom.

"No further action will be taken against Mr. and Mrs. King and we are now in the process of communicating this decision to the Spanish Authorities so that they can be reunited with their son as soon as possible," UK's Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) stated on Tuesday.

Ashya King, the couple's child suffering from a brain tumor, is currently confined in a Spanish hospital in Madrid and is under the care of his brother, Danny.

The decision came a day after several U.K. politicians, including Prime Minister David Cameron, called for the reunion of the child with his parents.

Cameron lauded the CPS' decision stating that the important thing is that the "little boy gets treatment and the love of his family."

The Brain Tumour Charity echoed Cameron's view citing that it was "clearly wrong to separate [Ashya] from his family at a time when he needs them the most."

The couple was taken into custody on Saturday after a two-day manhunt was initiated for their capture. They were arrested for taking their child out of a hospital in Southern Hampton against medical guidance.

According to Reuters, the couple took their son to Spain because they wanted him to experience a "different kind of treatment". Their decision led to the subsequent Europe-wide manhunt launched, which incited debates on whether the British law enforcement reacted excessively .

In a statement, Chief Constable Andy Marsh explained that their only intention is to secure the child's safety and "not to deny him family support" during this difficult time of his life.
