David Wood, an esteemed American Christian, has experienced a sudden and unexplained refusal of entry into the UK. This has happened despite his numerous unproblematic visits to the UK and his compliance with the regulations in place. We believe this unexpected refusal, particularly under the new ETA regulations, amounts to a form of discrimination. Transparency is a cornerstone of a democratic society and citizens have the right to understand decisions made by authorities that affect individuals' freedom of movement. It is alarming that David Wood has been denied entry without any apparent reason or any option for appeal.

About 3.1 million tourists from the United States visited the UK in 2019, contributing significantly to the economy and intercultural exchange between the two nations (source: Statista). Denying entry to law-abiding individuals without explanation might ultimately harm this relationship.

This petition seeks transparency and demands that the UK Government publish the reasons behind their decision to deny entry to David Wood. It is a matter of public interest, fairness, and transparency that could potentially affect many other international visitors. If the UK government refuses to disclose the reasons, it would only fuel speculation, mistrust, and lessen its international reputation for fairness and justice.

Please, support our demand for transparency and sign this petition. Let's stand together against unjust treatment and advocate for clearer communication in such matters.
