British Liberal Democrat MP Wera Hobhouse was denied entry when she went to Hong Kong on April 10 to visit her relatives.

In an April 15 article published in The Guardian, Hobhouse called on the British government to respond strongly to the threats from the Chinese Communist Party and said there should be no more ministerial visits until the UK receives clear explanations from China.
