Nobel peace prize winners visit Colombia, reject Trump’s wall
written by Adriaan Alsema February 3, 2017






Nobel Peace Prize laureates who gathered for a summit in Colombia’s capital Bogota on Thursday rejected the United States’ plans to build a wall on the border with Mexico.

According to the 1987 Nobel Peace Prize winner Oscar Arias from Costa Rica, US President Donald Trump “attacks human rights with the construction of a wall between his country and Mexico.”

“His actions are the winter of despair,” said Arias, citing Charles Dickens.

“The wall threatens our globalism as it sows fear among Americans and across the globe. Fear should not dominate us. We defend achieved liberties,” said Rigoberta Menchu from Guatemala, who won the Nobel Peace Prize for her defense of indigenous rights in her country.
