An international law firm has suggested that quarantine hotels could contravene our basic human rights, under the European Convention of Human Rights.

The Government is considering tightening border measures, with one possibility being mandatory quarantine in hotels for all arrivals – including UK residents.

Is it a human right to spread a disease?

heaneyp DOC.-Executive Order on Promoting COVID-19 Safety in Domestic and International Travel JANUARY 21, 2021 • PRESIDENTIAL ACTIONS

Locked up in Hounslow on a nasty bed. No thanks.

militantme1 Just quarantine hotels?.. I’m pretty sure locking people in their homes, stopping them from seeing their families and their children having an Education must contravene them as well..

BorisJohnson you were not elected to imprison your own people when they have perfectly safe homes to go to. Get a grip man.

Does anyone still care about human rights?

LewtonSerena5 Are we still in this European Convention? Or are we going to follow the rest of the world?

Nick_Boro1 Geneva Convention

Deeply shocked: every time there is mention of travel abroad, it says HOLIDAYs. Stop shaming people travels. Right now some people need support(COVID 19 test negative of course) from family potentially living in another country. covid19isolation gbonlyfortherich

False_Pos1t1ve About time! Where have all these human rights lawyers been? It’s time they started sticking up for us

Common sense should prevail above Human rights.

NoToNewNormal1 Over here we call them FEMA concentration camps of the illuminaughty

What a load of CRAP, if Australia can do it we can. We need a woman leader again.

This is an “international law firm” looking for suckers to buy their services.

Hilarious 😂 Effectively quarantining me in my own home and stopping me from seeing my direct family does contravene my human rights. However, when I choose to travel and accept that I have to quarantine, then it could contravene my human rights. Really?

I would have thought Health & Safety trumps Human Rights in most cases. 🙄But why not spend loads of money we haven't got trying find out?

We’re not in Europe you numpty.

I would not strain the patience of this nation by appealing to the ECHR.

Yeah because complete ignorance to the virus & people taking their rights to go out has worked extremely well so far. People also have a right to feel safe. So human rights has to be put on hold for now. Those who dont agree should work in a Covid unit then say that

Just like all the other restrictions which have been put on us for the past 10 months, but the courts have disappeared when it comes to upholding the human rights of ordinary people.

Well DominicRaab doesn't believe in human rights & trained as a lawyer, so perhaps they can discuss it further with him

Not at all, it’s a condition of entry. Don’t want to be quarantined, don’t travel, it’s their own choice.

Utter drivel!

It's not a 'Quarantine Hotel', it is an Australia style international arrivals process.

ToryZ crap, white superiority. its all in there. Now the TELEGRAPH supports ECHR Is that a first. Vote now on twitter to remove this murderous govt.

The European Convention of Human Rights that the radical right want us to leave?

Yet forcing us to stay home and lose our jobs is ok?

But we don’t like the EHCR now do we, Telegraph? Or are you cherry picking advice again? If people don’t like it, they always have a choice of not travelling

Ain’t got no bloody corpse rights either when u catch, spread, die from covid either...I mean Is some one actually trying to bring a case?

But locking us in our house doesn't?

Good job that doesn’t apply anymore

Is this the same ECHR that your columnists repeatedly call on us to leave?

You lost me at “an international law firm”
