The Nobel Peace Prize-winning human rights activist, Tawakkol Karman, has recently voiced her full support for the former Tunisian President, Dr. Mohamed Moncef Marzouki, refusing all attempts to “target and defame him.”

In a statement on her official Facebook page, Tawakkol Karman said that she stands by Mr. Moncef Marzouki against all attempts to stain his name and reputation, stressing that the latter remains her role model of standing against injustice and not compromising on the principle.

“You are the pride of Tunisia, the pride of the Arabs, and the symbol and icon of the Arab Spring, so who would be able to harm you!?, she addressed Mr. Marzouki.
