Wife Heather Cornelius and brother -in -law Chris Paget discussed for a meeting with Foreign Secretary for a three -hour visit to London last Tuesday Ryan Cornelius caseThe 71 -year -old British businessman who has spent the last 17 years in Dubai Jail. He is currently detained on the allegations considered inappropriate.
The 71 -year -old father has imprisoned the lives of his children in an alleged £ 370m fraud. United Arab Emirates It is said that he illegally received a loan by bribing staff members from the government-government Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB), but United Nations The charge of fraud is unjust. Last month, the European Parliament passed a resolution condemning its custody in the “inhuman conditions” in the Al-Awir Jail and called for its “immediate and unconditional release”.
The UAE says that Mr. Cornelius cannot be released until his loan is repaid, despite the DIB seized assets of more than £ 800 meters from the British businessman. Mr. Cornellius accused the DIB to be the “effective jailer” of a senior, non-royal government official.
Last Foreign Secretary, God David CameronLast year was met with Ms. Cornelius and Mr. Pagate to help the release of broker Mr. Cornellius, but the family says that successful labor government has been less assistant, despite that Mr. Lammy detained abroad to meet the need for better advocacy for Britis. Sir Kir Stamor Allegedly on the verge of agreeing to the £ 1.6 billion business agreement with the Gulf Cooperation Council, the UAE is a prominent member.
Ms. Cornelius gave a letter to the Prime Minister in April, who was calling her to intervene, the Foreign Office came in touch to hold a meeting.
Ms. Cornellius was initially hesitant, as she requested a meeting with the Prime Minister, but accepted the invitation to see Mr. Lemy in the hope that, even though the previous conversation with foreign secretaries did not give results, this latest encounter could have some positive effects.
But after the days of the night’s sleep in anticipation of the meeting, Ms. Cornelius found herself back in “disappointment” and “disappointment” on the banks of M4, as an officer told him and Mr. Pagat said that the meeting was suddenly canceled.
The lower-level diplomat said that the meeting could not proceed as the junior officer, Hamish Falkner, was made ill for the Middle East. He refused to explain why it would affect a meeting with Mr. Lamy, or why it could not be expressed before London for appointment at 5.30 pm. He said that he would be in touch later to discuss the restructuring of the appointment.
Viewed by Mr. Pagate in a letter sent to the Foreign Office on Wednesday morning Independent, Brother -in -law said that Ms. Cornelius then broke into a “foggy wish”.
Addressing the diplomat of an foreign office, Mr. Paget wrote: “I hope you have to hear a member of your family, who emit a furnace of the fleeting of disappointment heard from the color.”
Speaking later on Wednesday, Mr. Paget said that he was “never so angry” in his life, the way the Foreign Office handled him as “calls”. “They feel you like S ** T,” they said.
For Sri and Ms. Cornelius, this latest “kick in teeth” from the foreign office causes even more damage to their expectations. While the European Parliament and the United Nations continue to call for the release of Shri Cornelius, the foreign office remains due to “shifty” and lack of sympathy, Mr. Paget said.
Independent Has approached the Foreign Office for comment.
