Pro-Palestinian US streamer Hasan Piker says UK blocked his entry over criticism of Israel

The pro-Palestinian American streamer Hasan Piker and his uncle say Britain's government has barred them from entering the country over their criticism of Israel.

Piker, 34, and Turkish-American broadcaster and attorney Cenk Uygur were scheduled to speak this week at the South by Southwest technology and business festival (SXSW) in London and address the Oxford Union, a debating society at the prestigious British university.
