Tory MP says he was deported from Djibouti due to criticisms of China

British politician Tim Loughton was detained and deported from Djibouti in April for criticizing China, a country with significant investments in Djibouti.
Loughton, a Tory MP, was held at the airport for seven hours, denied entry, and sent back to the UK due to China's sanctions against him for spreading misinformation about Uighur abuses.
Loughton's involvement in highlighting China's human rights abuses through the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Tibet prompted China to target him with sanctions.
