British Muslim family not allowed to travel to Disneyland from Gatwick airport


It is a strange story of a British Muslim family of eleven members who were on their way to Disneyland. They were prevented from flying to Los Angeles by US officials and, they refused to explain their actions. The individual hails from north-east London and was looking forward to the holiday in California - he was going with his brother and nine of their children. But - they were stopped at Gatwick Airport before they boarded the flight and prevented from leaving.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 23 December 2015.
It seems he had necessary permission that he had obtained online from US authorities, hence this actions is difficult to understand. He is the latest British Muslim to have reported being suddenly barred from getting on a transatlantic flight in spite of being in possession of authorization by US authorities online.
Prime Minister David Cameron has promised to examine the case once it was raised by Stella Creasy, the MP concerned.
The incident is of 17 December and the family has still not been any reason why they were not allowed to board the plane - they had plans to visit cousins and go to Universal Studios and Magic Kingdom. To add to their miseries, the family has not been refunded the £9,000 cost of their flights and they had to also return items they had purchased at duty-free stores.
