LONDON: Two High Court judges have criticised the UK government’s treatment of travellers from Pakistan who are currently quarantining at various facilities approved by the government, including near Heathrow Airport, in London.
Pakistan was recently added to the government “red list” of countries meaning that any individual entering the UK from Pakistan must now stay in a pre-approved hotel -– quarantine centre - at a cost of at least £1,750 per person for 10 days.
Barrister Zahab Jamali moved the UK High Court of Justice after some British Pakistanis from the quarantine centre near Heathrow Airport reported being forced to stay in cramped, unhygienic hotel rooms with inadequate food, maltreatment and poor services.
