Concerns Raised Over UK Ban on Climate Scholar Andreas Malm

The UK Home Office denied Swedish climate scholar Andreas Malm entry to the United Kingdom, stating his presence was not conducive to the public good and suggesting the move was linked to his scheduled appearance with Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori, the BBC reported. Earlier reports from the Guardian noted that Malm’s refusal to enter the country sparked criticism from the event’s organizers and author Sally Rooney, who called the action unjustified.
