§ Mr. WoolasTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what progress he has made in ascertaining the whereabouts of Sara Barhandi, who was abducted from her home on 15 August. [60996]
§ Mr. FatchettThe precise whereabouts of Sara Barhandi remain unknown. Our Vice Consul has contacted Sara's relatives in Morocco but they did not disclose here whereabouts.
Sara is a dual British/Moroccan national. While she is in Morocco our Embassy has no formal locus to intervene. Consular staff will, however, continue to offer as much support to Sara's mother as they properly can and make informal inquiries with the Moroccan authorities.
