In tweets that quickly went viral, 21-year-old London School of Economics student Daniel Wickham pointed out the hypocrisy of world leaders attending the Paris rally on Sunday in solidarity with press freedom.
Along with over 1.2 million people, world leaders marched to commemorate the victims of the shooting at the offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, as well as those killed in the hostage situation at a kosher supermarket.
A government and history student, Daniel pointed out that the dignitaries present represented countries that have a more than dubious record of free press.
He published tweets about 21 representatives and has so far been retweeted over 102,000 times.

No doubt all of them are ultimate Hippocrates but Muslim leaders are biggest masters of hypocrisy when blasphemous cartoons were published all over Europe these leaders didn’t care to come out of their palaces to join the protesters there wasn’t any joint protest of muslim leaders almost 150 children in Pakistani school were killed did any leader care to come here? And now these Hippocrates came out to show their brotherhood for those who published blasphemous cartoons and yet they call themselves leaders o muslim ummah.shame on them.

isn’t it also hypocritical to follow the religion of peace while being ever ready to take up arms to impose your views on others?
