Closed Urge the US president to apologise for humiliating Johnson Beharry VC

Closed on

The PM should make direct representations to POTUS and demand a public apology be made to HMQEII.

Johnson Beharry VC was delayed entry to the US after the POTUS ordered travel restrictions on 27 January 2017. He missed a veterans' event where he was due to be a guest of honour.

Johnson Beharry VC is a member of the British Army who won the UK's highest military honour for bravery in Iraq in 2004. He suffered significant injury in doing so. He described he "felt humiliated" during recent experience at JFK Airport.
