Mike Tyson denied entry to New Zealand over 1992 rape conviction
"Iron Mike" denied entry to NZ over his 1992 rape conviction:
"Iron Mike" Tyson is learning once again that you can't escape your past, now that all of New Zealand has slammed the door in his face. Never mind that the tattoo on that same face was inspired by the designs of the Maori, New Zealand's indigenous people. And never mind that he was scheduled to appear at a charity event. New Zealand has a policy against welcoming convicted rapists, and so immigration officials canceled his visa. Officials had decided to make an exception in his case, but that decision was overturned at the last minute when the prime minister spoke out against him and the charity decided it would be better off without him. Sorry, Mike, but this was not a low blow."

Sad, but that is how travel is. You have convictions or drugs offenses on your record and you are blocked from a lot of places. Just because you are a name doesn't give you a free ride.

Tyson came to England so why not New Zealand, then again Mitchell could not go to US to fight Rios.

Haha, New Zealand is actually a very beautiful country with great people. I'm all for having a zero tolerance policy of letting convicted rapists travel anywhere(or breath in many cases:-X), harmless as Tysons visit would've been of course.

After he traveled all the way over there? That's unjust.
As a precaution, however, I'd hand out complimentary earmuffs to the general public.
Re: Mike Tyson denied entry to New Zealand over 1992 rape conviction
Tyson may be "reformed", but he was a pretty unsavory character back in the day, and not just because of the rape conviction. I'm all for giving everyone a second chance, and forgiving and forgetting, but it's understandable why some people still view Tyson with contempt.
