Dr. Mamtimin Ala

Mesut Özil is reaching out to the Turkish youth about the plight of #Uyghurs. You don’t need to understand Turkish to grasp the essence of his message. Gaze into his sad eyes, where the haunting shadows of unimaginable pain and suffering of Uyghurs linger. He has lost his money, opportunities, and future by speaking up for Uyghurs, but he has never regretted doing so. In a world where one must choose between good and evil, he lost a huge amount of money but saved his conscience, whereas many others saved their money by being silent over evil but lost their conscience. You don't need to be as famous as Özil to speak truth to power, but to be a genuine human being to save your conscience from being surrendered to evil.
