Christian MP Denied Entry to UK After Finland Hate Speech Conviction

Finnish Member of Parliament Päivi Räsänen says she has been banned from traveling to the UK after British authorities revoked her electronic travel authorization (ETA), despite it having initially been approved.

The former Finnish interior minister and physician was convicted earlier this year by Finland’s Supreme Court on a hate speech charge relating to her public statements on marriage and sexuality, which reflected her Christian beliefs and included biblical teaching.
