Hasan Piker says he was denied entry to the UK ahead of major speaking events

Popular online commentator Hasan Piker and media personality Cenk Uygur were barred from entering the United Kingdom. Their travel permissions were revoked just before scheduled speaking events. This unexpected development led to the cancellation of their appearances at SXSW London and the University of Oxford. The British Home Office stated their presence was not conducive to the public good.
