On 11 February 2011, it was imperative for Yemenis to lead a revolution against Saleh’s corrupt regime, and nobody has the right to hold the people accountable for consequences, said human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. 

To take the first step on the road to peace, Yemenis should put an end to the coup and disband militias of Houthis and ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh whose crimes are too numerous to count, said Yemeni human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Tawakkol Karman.

Human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Tawakkol Karman has launched a rarely scathing attack on ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh, describing him as “an accursed moron”. 

Accompanied with Iranian colleague Shirin Ebadi and on behalf of Nobel Women’s Initiative, Yemen’s human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Tawakkol Karman visited on Wednesday Syrian refugee camp in the Jordanian capital of Amman. 

Yemenis would reject any road map that doesn’t end up disbanding and disarming the fascist militia as well as exerting the influence of the state over every inch, human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Tawakkol Karman has said.

In Amman, Jordan, Tawakkol Karman, along with her Iranian colleague Shirin Ebadi, representing the Nobel Women Initiative, visited and observed the situation of Syrian refugees.

To enjoy freedom and dignity, a heavy price has to be paid, human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Tawakkol Karman has said.
