Three Muslim siblings from London were marched off an easyJet flight by armed security after being falsely accused of supporting ISIS.

19-year-old Maryam Dharas, 24-year-old Sakina Dharas and their sibling Ali Dharas, 21, had boarded the Naples bound plane from Stansted airport on August 18, where they were confronted by air cabin crew before take off.

In an interview with The Guardian , they recounted the moment when they were asked, "Do you speak English?" by officers who they said grilled them for hours.

Maryam, who will be reading English Literature at King's College London in September, said she has no doubt they were racially profiled.

She said: "I would like an apology. What happened was wrong. This kind of profiling shouldn’t take place. I don’t want this to happen again to anyone else."

The trio, of Indian descent, were astonished to be asked if they had any Arabic text on their phone and insisted they couldn't even read in the language.

In the interview, Maryam told of how the experience left her sister nearly close to tears.

"We’re told a couple had reported us having been reading Isis materials.

"[They said] the pair of us, meaning me and my sister, had been reading Isis material."

After it became clear the claims were false, they were apologised to for the inconvenience following an interrogation which separated the three of them.

Security issues must be investigated, say easyJet

EasyJet has since apologised, but said security issues will continue to be investigated.

A spokesperson for the flight company said: "The safety and security of its passengers and crew is our highest priority, which means that if a security concern is raised, we will always investigate it as a precautionary measure.

"We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused to the passengers."

A statement from Essex police said: "Essex police were contacted with reports of concern regarding the behaviour of three people who were looking at their mobile phones.

"Officers at the airport spoke to them and examined their phones with their consent.

"They were quickly able to establish that no offences had been committed and the women boarded their flight. We are satisfied the call was of good intent."
