"They responded that as survivors of the Nova Music Festival, they had been invited to share their experiences with the Jewish community in Manchester."The only reason for their detention and interrogation was because they are Israeli."The council said they were detained for two hours, and that it was in possession of a video showing a male officer "speaking in aggressive terms" and in a "demeaning" tone to the two men.
The Jewish Representative Council had tweeted Granada Reports, writing: "We have been made aware that survivors of the 7th October terrorist attack on the Re’Im Music Festival were discriminated against by @UKBorder when arriving @manairport.
