The lead actor of ‘Voice of Hind Rajab’, Motaz Malhees, was denied the chance to attend the
#Oscars because he’s Palestinian.
Donald Trump has issued a travel ban targeting Palestinians as well as people from South Sudan, Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Mali, Niger, and more. A travel ban like this is based on racism and xenophobia and violates international human rights law. It has nothing to do with national security or keeping anyone safe.
As Malhees said, “You can block a passport. You cannot block a voice.” And voices like this, calling for justice and accountability, will not be silenced.
