Wera Hobhouse, a Liberal Democrat MP, was denied entry to Hong Kong while attempting to visit her young grandson, citing her inclusion on a secret list of critics of China’s human rights record. She described the incident as a “wake-up call for any parliamentarian,” emphasizing the implications of such a list. Hobhouse was not provided with an explanation for her denial, leading her to believe it was a consequence of her outspoken stance against China’s rights abuses.
