Jailed Because She’s Conservative=> Canadian YouTuber and Activist Lauren Southern Denied Entry, Detained in the UK
Canadian YouTuber and right-wing activist Lauren Southern has been detained in the United Kingdom and has had her phone and passport taken from her.
The detention comes on the same day that they released American YouTuber and activist Brittany Pettibone and Austrian activist Martin Sellner after refusing them entry into the nation and detaining them for nearly three days.
@Lauren_Southern is currently being detained by UK border police she has told me. They have taken her passport and taken her in for questioning. After the outrage over @Martin_Sellner and @BrittPettibone does the Home Office want to repeat this?

.@Lauren_Southern, on her way to the U.K. by bus, has been singled out by the border police—they took her passport and she’s currently being questioned. I’ll keep you updated on the situation as soon as I learn more.

Southern was travelling to the UK by bus when she was singled out by border police and taken in for questioning. The Gateway Pundit attempted to call her cellphone, but it was immediately sent to voicemail.
Sellner and Pettibone had been detained and denied entry for him planning to give a speech and her plans to interview right-wing journalist and UK citizen Tommy Robinson.
Southern had planned to meet with the duo in the UK prior to their detention.

Following the questioning, Southern messaged Pettibone and told her that they were taking her phone and placing her in detention.
UPDATE: Looks like the border police aren’t allowing @Lauren_Southern to enter the U.K. by bus. Does this mean conservatives are no longer welcome in the U.K.? pic.twitter.com/sPIu1m0k54

“Does this mean conservatives are no longer welcome in the U.K.?” Pettibone tweeted with a screenshot of the conversation.
Wow. Now it looks as though popular conservative YouTuber, @Lauren_Southern has also been detained and refused entry to our country.
We demand answers, @AmberRuddHR! Are genuine conservatives banned from exercising free speech now? https://t.co/BttlnO92xh

More…. Lauren was denied entry because she spoke out against radical Islam — which is not a race.
So are we now to assume that the UK has a kind of reverse Muslim ban?
Anyone critical of the belief system of Islam (which is not a race) is now barred from entering the country?
Questions in Parliament need to be asked about this. Truly shocking. pic.twitter.com/cUzKgdRowK
