Indian immigrants, with permanent residency rights in the United Kingdom, have complained of harassment and ‘treatment like criminals’ by British immigration officers on returning to the country from trips abroad, a forum representing highly-skilled workers has claimed.
‘Migrants from India and other Non-European Economic Area countries are being treated like criminals by immigration officers at airports, when re-entering Britain,’ Highly Skilled Migrant Programme Forum, said in a statement in London.
Citing an instance, it said a doctor working in National Health Service for the past nine years, Dr Sujit Nair, reported on his experience when he recently returned from holiday in India.
