UK Denies Hasan Piker Entry Over Antisemitism Claims, Blocking 1-Week Trip

Hasan Piker said British authorities denied his Electronic Travel Authorization, stopping a planned 1-week UK trip that included SXSW London and an Oxford Union appearance.
Piker said the denial cited alleged antisemitism, which he rejected, after British Jewish groups and Labour MP David Taylor urged the Home Office to bar him as not conducive to the public good.
The streamer said he may try for a standard visa, though he called that a long shot, and warned the move could affect future travel to countries including Australia and Canada.
The setback follows a U.S. Treasury administrative subpoena over Piker's March Cuba trip, adding to scrutiny of activist networks tied to Progressive International, CodePink and financier Neville Roy Singham.
