Arabic version: حظر دخول إلى بريطانيا يثير اتهامات بإسكات الأصوات المؤيدة لفلسطين

According to Al Jazeera, Palestinian American activist Mo Hamzeh was refused entry to the United Kingdom ahead of his charity’s Gaza fundraiser in London.

Hamzeh is the latest person reported to have been denied entry to the UK in a case that has prompted accusations that pro-Palestine voices are being silenced through entry bans.

A pro-Israel activist group said it was behind the effort to block Hamzeh from entering the country.

The case concerns planned participation connected to a Gaza fundraiser in London, and has drawn attention to the use of UK entry restrictions involving pro-Palestine activists.
