Anger as activists blocked from Labour Party Conference
Delegates wait for Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's keynote speech at the Labour Party's annual conference in Liverpool last year
AS THOUSANDS head to Brighton for the Labour Party conference this weekend, a number of activists have been denied entry to the annual event by the Home Office, police and even the party’s own apparatus.
The most high-profile activist who will not be there is Omar Barghouti, a Palestinian man who co-founded the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.
His plans to speak at Labour conference fringe events have been thwarted by the Home Office, who are accused of sitting on his visa application.
