The family of Harry Dunn has accused the Foreign Office of an attempted 'cover-up' after it refused to reveal how many alleged crimes were committed by people with diplomatic immunity in the UK in the last two years
"We do not understand why the Foreign and Commonwealth Office are trying to bury these details," he said."Instead of trying to cover up the issue, they should be coming forward and working with us to shine a light on the problem so that it can be fully understood and dealt with."We can't bring [Harry] back but we can make sure that his death was not in vain and we fully intend to make sure that what happened to us will never happen to another family again.
"We have heard terrible stories of people who have never even had an apology, with the person responsible often being taken away the next day." Meanwhile, between 2013 and 2016, serious crimes allegedly committed by people with diplomatic immunity included rape, sexual assault, actual bodily harm, human trafficking, child abduction, taking an indecent photo of a child and drink driving.
