Hunger strike Mexican teenager denied entry to UK for royal wedding - Update

A 19-year-old Mexican woman whose hunger strike earned her a ticket to London for Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding was denied entry by immigration authorities, her sponsor has said.

Estibalis Chavez was flown to London for the April 29 nuptials by benefactor Octavio Fitch after camping out at the British embassy in February and refusing to eat.



"When she arrived in England, the immigration authorities would not let her enter because she was not able to demonstrate secure accommodation in London," Fitch told Mexican media.

Fitch said Chavez was told she could only enter the country if someone met her at the airport. "This is what I am looking for," he added. The Home Office said it was looking into the matter.
