Karman sends a letter to Iraqi Nadia Murad on the occasion of her winning the Nobel Peace Prize
The Nobel Peace Prize winner Tawakkol Karman has written a letter to Iraqi activist Nadia Murad, who won the Nobel Peace Prize for 2018.
"Your award for the Nobel Peace Prize for 2018 is certainly an important event. It is a recognition by the world of your grievance and your courage in the face of injustice," said Tawakkol Karman on her official Facebook page.
"You have achieved a victory against all forms of destruction that were committed against you," Karman said. "You have done it with hardness and pride.”
"Today, you are the voice of the world, but those mutants who have killed and violated [human rights] are outcast and face their inevitable fate,” she said.
Karman reiterated her congratulations to Nadia Murad for winning the Nobel Peace Prize for the year 2018. She expressed hope that Murad’s victory will open the doors of tolerance and cooperation between all opponents religiously, politically and ethnically.
A spokeswoman for the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Berit Rice Anderson, said Friday that Yezidi Iraqi activist Nadia Murad and the women's doctor treating rape victims in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Denis McQueigh, won the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize for "their efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war."
