Yemen’s Nobel Peace Prize Winner and human rights advocate Tawakkol Karman has expressed deep regret over global silence over crimes Al Sisi and Al Assad are committing against their own peoples.
Karman, in a statement posted on her Facebook account, said Sisi killed four thousand peaceful protestors and ordered to put forty thousand in detention centers just because they won in the elections, while Bashar Al Assad has killed half a million and displaced millions because they called for life of democracy.
The first spark of revolution in Syria flashed first and foremost in the city of Daraa on February 2011. At that time, security forces arrested about fifteen thousand children against the backdrop of writing slogans calling for freedom.
On the other hand, Egypt’s President Abdel Fatah Al Sisi was elected in 2014 after he led a military coup against the first democratically elected president Mohammed Morsi in 2013.
Two months after Morsi’s ouster, troops loyal to Al Sisi began a bloody crackdown against pro-Morsi protestors and dissidents that left thousands dead and ten thousands detained.
