View answerI appreciate that this is a very difficult situation for the citizen and their family.
I can confirm that officials in my Department are aware of this case and are providing consular assistance.
As with all consular cases, a case officer has been assigned to the family and are in regular contact. The case officer has provided advice and guidance to the family.
Please be assured that my Department will continue to provide all possible consular assistance to the citizen and their family at this very difficult time.
