Britain has blocked Cenk Uygur, a left-wing Turkish-American media personality, and his nephew, Hasan Piker, a U.S. left-wing commentator and influencer, from entering the country to speak at events, both said on Monday.
Uygur, who co-hosts the popular YouTube channel "The Young Turks", and Piker said they had been barred because of their views on Israel.
