A Conservative MP says he was deported during a trip to Djibouti due to the east African country’s close ties to China.
Tim Loughton, the MP for East Worthing and Shoreham, said he was detained for more than seven hours and barred from entry to Djibouti earlier this month.
Mr Loughton, who had sanctions imposed on him in 2021 by Beijing, said the experience was “very lonely and frightening”.
China’s foreign office said the accusations were baseless.
