Summary

Andreas Malm, a Swedish climate academic, was denied entry to Britain before a speaking event.
The Home Office said his presence “is not conducive to the public good” and declined comment.
Malm suspected the ban was tied to his planned appearance with Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori.
He said his earlier description of Hamas’s October 7 attack as an “act of liberation” may have prompted the denial.
