A Swedish academic says he has been barred from the United Kingdom over an event involving a figure connected to Palestine Action, BBC News reported. The outlet's headline attributes the claim to Andreas Malm, the academic.

According to BBC News, Malm was due to appear on a panel alongside a co-founder of Palestine Action, a group the outlet describes as proscribed, next week. The outlet's summary places the panel next week but does not provide further details about its timing.

The sources differ on the role of the other participant. BBC News's headline describes him as a founder of Palestine Action, while its summary describes him as a co-founder of the proscribed group. The summary available for this report does not resolve the difference.

BBC News reported that Malm says he has been barred from the UK. The summary does not say who imposed the bar, what reason, if any, was given for it, or whether any authority has formally confirmed the restriction. It also does not describe the subject of the planned panel or where it was to be held.
