British Liberal Democrat MP Wera Hobhouse was denied entry to Hong Kong and deported upon arrival, making her the first British MP to be refused entry since the handover. This occurred after she had previously criticized China's human rights record in Tibet and its suppression of freedom of speech in Hong Kong. The British Foreign Secretary is seeking urgent clarification from Hong Kong and Beijing.
