My maternal Grandpa Yacoub Al Ghussein who was exiled by the British to the Seychelles in 1937. He was the President of the Arab Youth Congress. Here he is in the photo with 4 members of the Arab Higher Committee that was dissolved on October 1 1937. He is standing in the back wearing a dark suit. Beside him is F uad Saba and seated is Dr Hussein Al-Khalidi, Ahmad Hilmi and Rashid Al-Haj Ibrahim.
the following photos are taken from the book 'Before their Diaspora' by Walid Khalidi
