瑞典气候学者安德烈亚斯·马尔姆周五表示,他被拒绝入境英国,原定将与被列为恐怖组织的“巴勒斯坦行动”联合创始人一同发言。

Swedish climate academic Andreas Malm said on Friday he had been denied entry to Britain, where he was due to speak alongside the co-founder of Palestine Action, a group banned as a terrorist organisation.

马尔姆是瑞典隆德大学的学者,长期公开批评以色列,并对巴勒斯坦运动表示强烈支持。英国内政部表示,不对个别案件发表评论。

Malm, an academic at Sweden's Lund University, has been a vocal critic of Israel and expressed strong support for the Palestinian movement. Britain's Home Office (interior ministry) said it did not comment on individual cases.

马尔姆告诉BBC第四台广播节目,他收到内政部的通知,称其“在英国的存在不利于公共利益”,未作进一步说明。

Malm told the BBC's Radio 4 he had received a message from the Home Office saying his "presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good" with no further clarification.

他说,他怀疑被禁止入境是因为原定于下周三出席由一家社会主义杂志主办的活动,与“巴勒斯坦行动”联合创始人胡达·阿莫里同台,他原定在活动中谈论伊朗战争。他补充说,自己从未公开背书、宣传或资助“巴勒斯坦行动”。

He said he suspected he was barred because he had been due to appear at an event next Wednesday organised by a socialist magazine alongside Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori, where he said he had been due to speak about the war in Iran. He added he had not publicly endorsed, promoted or financially supported Palestine Action.

“我多年来、几十年来一直往返英国,从事科学工作、档案研究、参加会议。这也是我此次访英的主要目的,”马尔姆说。

"I've been going back and forth to the UK for years, for decades, to do my scientific work, my archival research, my participation in conferences. This is the main purpose of my visit to the UK this time too," Malm said.

“这意味着我被禁止从事知识分子、学者的工作。”BBC问及禁令是否与他此前称哈马斯10月7日袭击以色列是“解放行动”有关,马尔姆回答“可能是”。

"What this means is that I am banned from doing my work as an intellectual, as an academic." Asked by the BBC whether the ban could be linked to previous comments he made calling Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel "an act of liberation", Malm said "it could be".

马尔姆因著作《如何炸毁一条管道》而广为人知,书中主张采取激进行动以阻止化石燃料开采。

Malm is most known for his book "How to Blow Up a Pipeline", which argues radical action is necessary to stop fossil fuel extraction.

英国最高法院定于下周就根据反恐法将“巴勒斯坦行动”列为禁组织一事进行上诉审理,这使得表达对该组织的支持成为刑事犯罪。

Britain's Supreme Court is due to hear an appeal next week on the proscription of Palestine Action under terrorism laws, which has made expressing support for the group a criminal offence.

10月早些时候,爱尔兰小说家萨莉·鲁尼表示,因计划用版税支持“巴勒斯坦行动”,她的书将不再在英国销售。

Earlier in October, Irish novelist Sally Rooney said her books will no longer be sold in Britain over her plans to use her royalties to support Palestine Action.

6月,英国禁止左翼土耳其裔美国媒体人士琼克·于格尔及其侄子哈桑·皮克尔入境,以参加活动。

In June, Britain blocked left-wing Turkish-American media personality Cenk Uygur and his nephew Hasan Piker from entering the country to speak at events.

英国还对极右翼以色列部长实施了旅行禁令,并禁止以色列人进入一所享有盛誉的伦敦国防研究学院。

Britain has also imposed travel bans on far-right Israeli ministers and banned Israelis from attending a prestigious London defence studies college.
