can you help?
my new friend and Cotillion member, Jane Novak, blogs passionately about the corruption of the Yemeni government at her blog, the Armies of Liberation. she is also a contributor at the Jawa Report. as we all know, the government of Yemen has little or no regard for human rights, democratic principles, and freedom for their people. they actively suppress journalists who seek to uncover and promote truth.
her post today is compelling and calls us all to action. it’s about a prominent pro-democracy journalist in Yemen who is facing a jail sentence again for simply printing the truth, and speaking his mind.
Renowned journalist Abdulkarim al-Khaiwani is one of Yemen’s most prominent democracy advocates – for which he has paid a steep price. His paper has been closed, his website blocked, and his children threatened. He is now due to be sentenced on May 21 for “insulting the president” and “demoralizing the military.”
During his arrest in June of 2007, Al-Khaiwani was beaten and his six-year-old daughter slapped unconscious. While released on bail in August, Al-Khaiwani was kidnapped and tortured by thugs who threatened his life if he continued to write about Yemen’s president.

let freedom ring… even in Yemen.
