Hasan Piker, a popular online commentator and streamer, says he was not allowed to enter the United Kingdom just before several speaking events. He revealed that his permission to travel had been revoked prior to his departure. Thus, he was unable to make the trip to the UK at all. This information spread rapidly through the internet as there was great anticipation of his speaking engagements in London and Oxford.
The issue also affected his uncle, Cenk Uygur, who is also a well-known media personality. He also said that his travel permission was revoked just before his flight. Both were planning to visit the UK for public talks and events. Their sudden inability to travel led to their appearances being canceled, leaving organizers and audiences disappointed.
