A HAMAS-sympathising radical has been stripped of his UK visa, The Sun can reveal.
The foreign national was living in Britain but has now had his right to remain removed after expressing support for the proscribed terror group.
One of the pro-Palestine marches since October 7. Cops have made arrests for people caught glorifying a proscribed groupRex
He was caught glorifying the Gaza-based butchers as well as the banned Palestine Islamic Jihad group.
It is understood the man – who cannot be named – left the country while his case was considered by Home Secretary Suella Braverman, who has since revoked his visa.
He is the first to be stripped of his visa since Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick warned of the threat a fortnight ago.
Mr Jenrick told The Sun tonight: “There can be zero tolerance for visitors to the UK who abuse the privilege of a visa and endorse evil terrorist acts.
“To any individuals considering following suit in the coming days and weeks: be in no doubt that we will continue to revoke visas wherever required.
“We will not tolerate extremism on our streets.”
Mr Jenrick wrote to police chiefs late last month warning that foreign nationals caught glorifying banned terror groups faced expulsion.
He said: “The opportunities that a UK visa affords an individual is a special privilege, not an automatic entitlement.
“Those that abuse that privilege by causing harm to the UK, our citizens or values forfeit the benefits conferred to them.”
Our revelation is the first case of someone having their visa revoked since the Cabinet Minister’s intervention.
