British political commentator Sami Hamdi has returned to London after spending over two weeks in United States immigration detention. Hamdi was detained at San Francisco International Airport when his visa was revoked during a speaking tour critical of Israel's actions in Gaza. United States authorities accused him of supporting the October 7 attacks, citing remarks he made online, though Hamdi maintains his comments were misrepresented and that his detention was an attack on free speech. Rights groups condemned the move, while United States officials defended the decision as part of broader security measures targeting those deemed to support terrorism.
