London-based PGMBM believes requiring people who are fully vaccinated and have recently tested negative for coronavirus to spend 11 nights in a hotel is an ‘unlawful deprivation of liberty’ and violates their human rights. There are currently 60 locations on the red list, such as Mexico, Pakistan, Turkey, and much of South America and Africa. ThePGMBM managing partner Tom Goodhead said: ‘Mandatory hotel quarantine is a fundamental breach of human rights.‘Prisoners are entitled to more liberty than those forced to quarantine in hotels.

But it said they include people in the UK who want to visit family in a red list country and who would currently have to stay in a quarantine hotel when they return, and others who have already stayed in one of the hotels.Mr Goodhead added: ‘Many of the people who get in touch with us are not travelling to or from red list countries for holidays or for leisure.
