The Nobel Peace Prize-winning human rights activist Tawakkol Karman said that Friday of Dignity will remain an exceptional event in the history of the Yemeni struggle for freedom.

In a post on Facebook, Tawakkol Karman wrote: “On this day, the deposed (President Saleh) ordered his mob of thugs and forces to kill peaceful demonstrators in Change Square in Sana'a, where hundreds were killed and wounded.”

Friday of Dignity will remain an exceptional day in the history of the Yemeni struggle for freedom, wishing “glory, eternity and mercy to martyrs,” she concluded.
