Pastor Omot was also an interpreter for the World Bank Inspection Panel during its 2014 investigation of a complaint by Anuak indigenous people alleging widespread forced displacement and other serious human rights violations in relation to a World Bank project in Gambela. Before being arrested, Omot was filmed as part of a forthcoming documentary film about land grabbing in Ethiopia (“Dead Donkeys Fear No Hyenas” WG Films, 2016). In the film, Omot discusses his fear of being detained and tortured because of his activism to protect indigenous rights in his home country. See a clip from the film here. Omot now faces between 20 years and life in prison if convicted.
