Human rights lawyer, Malcom Omirhobo, has said he is not afraid of being denied visa by the US, UK and Europe, which is why he keeps voicing his opinion concerning the genocide faced by Gaza.
According to him, he cannot mortgage his conscience by keeping silent.
Omirhobo said this just weeks after the US, a major backer of Israel, which has been enforcing actions against Gaza, said it will start checking the social media of visa applicants.
He said on X, "I cannot because of the fear of being denied visa by the United States of America, Britain, and other European countries, mortgage my conscience by keeping silent to the genocide and ethnic cleansing being perpetrated by Israel against the Palestinians."
In another post, he said, "95% of the world's politicians, governments and diplomats have either been blackmailed or bribed by Zionist Israel against the will of their people, that is why Israel is allowed to get away with all her crimes.
"We as human beings in this twenty-first century must not let Israel and these corrupt persons and governments define what humanity is for us or dictate to us or redefine what international law and the already established world order should be because to do so, we will all be judged by history and prosperity."
