UK revokes travel authorisation for Swedish climate scholar Andreas Malm

Swedish academic Andreas Malm has been barred from entering the UK after the Home Office revoked his electronic travel authorisation (ETA). The decision, which cites his presence as 'not conducive to the public good,' prevents him from speaking at a London panel alongside Huda Ammori, a co-founder of the proscribed group Palestine Action. Malm denies supporting the group, while critics condemn the move as an authoritarian restriction on free speech.

UK Supreme Court to Hear Appeal Against Palestine Action Ban Amid Mass Arrests

The UK Supreme Court has granted permission for Huda Ammori, co-founder of Palestine Action, to appeal the group's proscription as a terrorist organization. The ban, enacted in July 2025, has led to over 3,500 arrests for expressing support, with 117 detained during recent demonstrations outside Westminster Magistrates' Court. While the Court of Appeal upheld the ban in June 2026, the Supreme Court will hear the case between October and December 2026. All related criminal cases are paused pending the ruling. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood stated the government will 'robustly defend' the proscription, while critics argue it violates free speech and assembly rights under the European Convention on Human Rights.
