MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to the ABC News’ Wednesday report, citing a Downing Street spokesman, the request came after several British Muslim nationals complained over being refused boarding.

A Muslim family was about to board a flight to Los Angeles only to have their visa waiver revoked. A British Imam had his visa revoked as he was trying to board a flight to New York, the media outlet reported.
