The Home Office cancelled Swedish academic Andreas Malm's planned entry to the United Kingdom, determining his presence was "not conducive to the public good," Al Jazeera English reported. Malm had scheduled travel to attend an event related to Palestine.
The decision marks a rare use of UK border powers to prevent entry based on stated grounds of public interest. The Home Office did not elaborate on specific concerns regarding Malm's attendance at the Palestine-related gathering.
