The UK Home Office revoked travel authorization for American political commentators Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur ahead of SXSW London in June 2026, citing their presence as "not conducive to the public good" based on their criticism of Israel. The bans followed a public lobbying campaign by British Jewish organizations and a Labour MP, raising questions about the use of immigration powers to suppress political speech and the influence of pro-Israel advocacy on UK border policy.
