UK bars Swedish academic Andreas Malm from entry

Britain has refused entry to Swedish climate academic Andreas Malm, who says he was turned away on Friday. The Home Office cancelled his Electronic Travel Authorisation, telling him his presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good, without further explanation. Malm was due to speak next Wednesday at an event organised by the socialist magazine Tribune alongside Huda Ammori, co-founder of Palestine Action, a group proscribed as a terrorist organisation in the UK. Malm said he believes the decision is linked to that appearance. The Home Office says it does not comment on individual cases. Britain's Supreme Court is due to hear an appeal next week on the group's proscription.
