Trump Administration Revokes Visa of Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka
Wole Soyinka, the first African writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, has had his US visa revoked by the Trump administration.
Soyinka, 91, has been an outspoken critic of the Trump administration's treatment of immigrants. The revocation of his visa is part of a broader effort by the administration to suppress political dissent.
- Soyinka won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1986
- He has taught at universities such as Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard, and Yale
- The visa revocation is seen as an attempt to criminalize opposition to the US government
The revocation of Soyinka’s US visa is not an isolated incident but part of a sweeping drive by the Trump administration to criminalize political dissent and equate opposition to the US government with “terrorism.”
