瑞典气候学者兼作家安德烈亚斯·马尔姆(Andreas Malm)被英国移民官员拒绝入境,理由是其在英国的存在“可能不符合公共利益”。1 马尔姆原计划于下周在伦敦参加由《Tribune》杂志组织的一场会议,该会议主题为“华盛顿的全球恐怖统治与英国在其中的角色”。1 他本拟与已被禁的激进组织“巴勒斯坦行动”(Palestine Action)联合创始人胡达·阿莫里(Huda Ammori)同台,共同讨论禁令的影响,包括对作家萨莉·鲁尼撤回其书籍在英国销售的影响。1
针对这一决定,知名作家萨莉·鲁尼批评称此举是“悲伤且令人恐惧的文化自残行为”,而马尔姆本人则呼吁政府重新考虑禁令,强调其对言论自由的威胁。1 《Tribune》主编奥利弗·伊格莱顿(Oliver Eagleton)指出事件具有讽刺意味,因为马尔姆原本要演讲的主题正是关于言论自由受到攻击,结果自己却因参与讨论审查制度而遭到审查。1 此外,今年早些时候,美国左翼评论员Cenk Uygur和Hasan Piker也曾以同样理由被禁止进入英国。1
Swedish climate scholar and author Andreas Malm has been barred from entering the United Kingdom after immigration officials determined that his presence "may not be considered to be conducive to the public good" 1. The decision prevents Malm from attending a conference scheduled for next week in London, organized by Tribune magazine, which was set to focus on "global terror rule from Washington and Britain's role in it" 1. He had planned to speak alongside Huda Ammori, co-founder of the proscribed group Palestine Action, to discuss the implications of such bans, including recent instances where author Sally Rooney withdrew her books from sale in the UK due to similar concerns 1.
The ban has drawn sharp criticism from literary figures and organizers. Author Sally Rooney described the move as a "sad and terrifying act of cultural self-harm" 1. Oliver Eagleton, editor of Tribune, highlighted the irony of the situation, noting that Malm’s intended lecture topic was the attack on free speech, yet he himself faced censorship while attempting to discuss it 1. This incident follows a pattern seen earlier this year, when American left-wing commentators Cenk Uygur and Hasan Piker were also denied entry to the UK under the same legal rationale 1. In response to the prohibition, Malm has called on the government to reconsider the ban, emphasizing its threat to freedom of expression 1.
