2. Minister for Human Rights slams UK government for keeping Pakistan on its red list for travel: Minister of Human Rights, Shireen Mazari, criticized the UK government for keeping Pakistan on its Red List for international travel while moving India to its Amber List, despite India’s “disastrous handling” of the COVID-19 pandemic. The UK government put Pakistan and India on its Red List in April but recently removed India. The UK government claimed that Pakistan didn’t share COVID-19 data on vaccinations and testing. Mazari pushed back saying the UK government didn’t ask Pakistan for any data, which is publicly available and shared with the UK High Commission as well. During a virtual meeting with Pakistani government officials, British lawmakers of Pakistani origin said authorities in Pakistan should have shared COVID-19 data with the UK government and done effective lobbying to get Pakistan taken off the Red List.
