UK Blocks Uygur and Piker Over Israel Criticisms, Calling It Kafkaesque
British authorities barred Cenk Uygur and Hasan Piker from entering the UK, citing they pose a 'serious risk to public order' due to criticisms of Israel. Uygur said he learned of the ban at the airport as he sought to attend SXSW London and give an Oxford speech; Piker reported a visa revocation as well. The government’s stated rationale was not independently confirmed at press time. Both men described the move as Kafkaesque, noting Kanye West faced a similar ban last month.
