Mariam Ali Syed, her husband Javed, and their two children, Zayn, 5, and Amani, 4, were among the 242 people on the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner on June 12, according to Syed's sister-in-law, Yasmine Hassan She accused the U.K. Foreign Office of a lack of assistance to relatives of the 53 U.K. nationals who were on the plane Her family wants to travel to India, where the London-bound plane took off from when it crashed shortly after takeoffRelatives have confirmed a British family of four died on the doomed Air India flight as they slam the British Foreign Office for their lack of support. Mariam Ali Syed, her husband Javed, and their two children, Zayn, 5, and Amani, 4, were among the 242 people on the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner bound for London when it crashed shortly after takeoff in Ahmedabad, India, on Thursday, June 12 — Yasmine Hassan, Syed's sister-in-law, told The Telegraph. She said Syed, 44, and her family were returning from a vacation in India, adding that Syed worked for the London department store Harrods. But Hassan alleged the British Foreign Office has not extended support to the victims' families, saying there were 53 British nationals on the flight. Hassan also told the British newspaper that Sadaf Javed, Syed's older sister, who resides in London, wants to go to Ahmedabad but received no assistance from the Foreign Office. 'My sister-in-law, who is one of the passenger's actual sisters, is saying, 'I need to get to India. I need to get there as soon as possible. I need to bring my babies home',' Hassan said, according to The Telegraph. On Thursday, Air India announced that it has established friends and relatives assistance centers at Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Delhi and Gatwick airports 'to provide support and take care of the needs of the families and loved ones of those on flight AI171.' 'These centres are facilitating the travel of family members to Ahmedabad,' the airline 's statement continued. Hassan told The Telegraph that the British Foreign Office has not offered anything similar as far as flying relatives to Ahmedabad. 'I called the UK Foreign Office to say, 'We've checked online and we can see that Air India has arranged two flights to help people from other parts of India get to Ahmedabad to be with their families. Is the UK doing anything like that?' ' Hassan recalls. Hassan was told by someone at the Foreign Office that they were unaware of that. 'So then I asked, 'Is there anyone I can speak to? Someone who might know if they're waiving visa requirements or offering fast-track visas, or if any emergency flights are being put on?' Again, she just said, 'No,' ' Hassan added. She told The Telegraph that she understands the lack of answers from British government officials, realizing that these situations take time. But she said she is angry by the apparent lack of support from the government. 'We really think people need to know that we've had no support – and they're British citizens. Yet no one from the Government has contacted us to ask, 'Can we do anything to help?' ' Hassan said. PEOPLE contacted the British Foreign Office on Friday, June 13, for comment. In a statement shared with The Telegraph, a spokesperson from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office said, 'Our thoughts are with all those affected by the tragic plane crash in India – this is an unfolding situation, and it will undoubtedly be causing a huge amount of worry and concern.' 'FCDO staff are working urgently with local authorities in India and the UK to ensure families and friends are supported in the coming days, whether in the UK or in India,' the statement continued. Meanwhile, about 200 relatives of the crash victims have offered DNA samples at Ahmedabad Civil Hospital as part of the identification process, CNN and The New York Times reported. Among the relatives faced with donating a DNA sample was Sangeeta Gauswami, who saw her 19-year-old son, Sanket, off on the plane for London. 'We have had no news,' Gauswami said, according to CNN. 'We keep asking but no one will tell us.' Among the other 242 victims from the flight include two doctors and their children and the plane's captain and first officer, and a couple who shared an Instagram video before boarding the plane. Only one person, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, a British man, survived the crash. Read the original article on People

British air crash victims' families hit out at ‘no support' from Foreign Office
The relatives of a British family said to have died in the Air India plane crash have expressed their 'anger' at the Foreign Office's failure to support them. Speaking exclusively to The Telegraph, Yasmine Hassan, 44, from west London, confirmed that her sister-in-law, Mariam Ali Syed, along with her husband Javed and the couple's two young children, Zayn, five, and Amani, four, were on board the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner when it crashed in Ahmedabad shortly after take-off on Thursday. The young family were returning from a holiday in India. Mariam, 35, had worked for almost a decade as a brand ambassador at Harrods. Mrs Hassan broke down when confirming the identities of Mariam's children, the two youngest family members on board the flight. She said: 'They are so small, they are five and four. And it's just thinking how scared they must have been.' She told The Telegraph: 'We're not angry about the lack of answers [from UK government officials] – we understand that takes time. We're angry because no one has reached out to offer support or even ask if we need anything. These are British citizens.' Mrs Hassan said she was pleading with the Government to offer urgent support to relatives of the 53 British citizens aboard the flight. She explained that her other sister-in-law, Sadaf Javed, 48, Mariam's elder sister, another British citizen living in London, was desperate to travel to Ahmedabad, but had so far been offered no support or assistance from the Foreign Office. 'My sister-in-law, who is one of the passenger's actual sisters, is saying, 'I need to get to India. I need to get there as soon as possible. I need to bring my babies home',' she explained. On Thursday, Air India confirmed it would fly in relatives of families who had been aboard the flight from across India. But Mrs Hassan said she was shocked that the UK Foreign Office had no plans to offer similar support to families in Britain. 'I called the UK Foreign Office to say, 'We've checked online and we can see that Air India has arranged two flights to help people from other parts of India get to Ahmedabad to be with their families. Is the UK doing anything like that?' 'The last thing my sister-in-law needs right now is to be worrying about visas and paperwork, when she's not even in the right head space. 'So I asked the Foreign Office, 'Do you know if the UK Government is arranging anything similar? Is anything being sorted?' And the woman just said, 'No, we haven't been informed of anything like that, sorry'. 'So then I asked, 'Is there anyone I can speak to? Someone who might know if they're waiving visa requirements or offering fast-track visas, or if any emergency flights are being put on?' Again, she just said, 'No.'' Mrs Hassan said she wanted to make the public aware of how little support was actually available for British families of those on board the crashed airliner. 'We really think people need to know that we've had no support – and they're British citizens. Yet no one from the Government has contacted us to ask, 'Can we do anything to help?' 'There are 53 British nationals on that flight. Some of them are from the same family. 'My sister-in-law's just thinking, 'I want to get there and be there no matter what happens'. 'This is her baby sister, her husband, and her sister's two children. 'Those two children see her like a second mum. She just wants to be there. And now we're having the stress of trawling airline websites, trying to find flights, wondering if we need an emergency visa, asking ourselves, 'Do we have to go to the Indian embassy? Can we apply for an e-visa?' – it's the added pressure when we're already struggling to cope.' Mrs Hassan made clear that the family was not asking for financial help, simply administrative support. 'I don't care if it's £1,000 or £3,000, I've got a credit card.' She also noted that the media appear to be better informed than the Government. 'Within the space of a few hours, we had The Telegraph and the BBC turn up at our house. We haven't had any representation from the Government come and ask, 'How's your family doing? This is a crisis. Can we support you in any way?' Nothing,' she added. A spokesman for the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) told The Telegraph: 'Our thoughts are with all those affected by the tragic plane crash in India – this is an unfolding situation, and it will undoubtedly be causing a huge amount of worry and concern. 'FCDO staff are working urgently with local authorities in India and the UK to ensure families and friends are supported in the coming days, whether in the UK or in India.' The spokesman declined to say whether the FCDO plans to arrange urgent travel to Ahmedabad for UK-based relatives of those on the Air India flight. However, consular support in the region has been increased to assist British nationals and work with Indian authorities, with the British High Commissioner travelling there on Thursday. A dedicated FCDO helpline has also been set up. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

Tanzanian politician's lawyers ask UN to declare his detention arbitrary
By Aaron Ross NAIROBI (Reuters) -Lawyers for Tanzania's jailed opposition leader Tundu Lissu filed a complaint on Friday to the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention in a bid to ramp up international pressure for his release. Lissu, chairman of Tanzania's main opposition party and runner-up in the 2020 presidential election, was arrested last month and charged with treason, a capital offence, over comments he is alleged to have made calling on supporters to prevent national elections in October from going ahead. Tanzania's government spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment. While President Samia Suluhu Hassan has won plaudits for easing political repression, she has faced questions about unexplained abductions of government critics in recent months. Hassan, who will stand for re-election in October, has said her government respects human rights and ordered an investigation into the reported abductions. Lissu's international lawyer, Robert Amsterdam, said the confidential complaint to the U.N. working group, which issues opinions but has no enforcement power, was part of a wider pressure campaign. The European Parliament this month adopted a resolution denouncing Lissu's arrest as politically motivated, and Amsterdam said he would petition the U.S. State Department to impose sanctions. "Right down to prosecutors, judges, police - all the people that are involved in this false show trial had better be aware that they should protect their U.S. assets," Amsterdam told Reuters. In response to the European Parliament resolution, Tanzania's foreign ministry said outside criticisms about the case were based on "incomplete or partisan information". The U.S. State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Lissu, who was shot 16 times in a 2017 attack for which no one has ever been charged, will appear in court on Monday. Before he appeared in court last week, authorities detained a Kenyan and a Ugandan rights activist who had come to attend the hearing. They were abandoned several days later near the borders of their home countries, and the Kenyan activist, Boniface Mwangi, said both were badly tortured while in custody. Tanzanian officials have not responded to requests for comment about the allegation. Hassan has warned outsiders against "invading and interfering in our affairs".
