MANCHESTER (92 News) – Legendary cricketer Wasim Akram was humiliated for carrying insulin at Manchester airport on Tuesday. In a tweet, Wasim Akram said: "Very disheartened at Manchester airport today, I travel around the world with my insulin but never have I been made to feel embarrassed. I felt very humiliated as I was rudely questioned and ordered publicly to take my insulin out of its travel cold-case and dumped in to a plastic bag." https://twitter.com/wasimakramlive/status/1153622057869074433?s=20 He said: “I do not believe I should have been treated differently from anyone else. I just believe there should be a standard of care when dealing with all people. I understand there are proper safety precautions but that doesn’t mean people should be humiliated whilst undergoing them.” https://twitter.com/wasimakramlive/status/1153666384225869824?s=20 On the other hand, the Manchester Airport administration has taken notice of the matter.
