UN’s human rights chief compares ‘demagogues’ Donald Trump, Nigel Farage and Geert Wilders to Isis

The UN’s human rights chief has compared controversial Dutch politician Geert Wilders to Donald Trump, Nigel Farage and Isis, in a hard-hitting speech at The Hague.

 

Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein, who has held the position for two years, called for action to confront European and US politicians who breed “an atmosphere thick with hate”, as he fears it “may descend into violence”.

 

The speech was primarily focused on Mr Wilders, who recently said he wants to fight Islam and ban all mosques.
