Watterson has questions for Attorney General

An MHK is questioning whether government has ignored the human rights of Manx residents quarantined at the Comis hotel.

Juan Watterson has tabled a query for the Attorney General, at tomorrow's routine sitting of Tynwald.

Concerns have been raised by a number of organisations on similar topics, including the Isle of Man Law Society, Amnesty International Isle of Man Group and the Celtic League - some relating to the Isle of Man Prison.
