The human rights activist and Nobel Peace laureate, Tawakkol Karman, has congratulated the revolutionaries of Yemen on the 12th anniversary of the February 11 revolution, as its date approaches.

In a comment posted on her official Facebook page on this occasion, Tawakkol Karman wrote: “Glorious February, comrades of the great struggle. It’s true that the Iranian- and Saudi-backed counter-revolution has triumphed over us, but it is a false victory that brought nothing but civil war, hunger and death to our people.”

Mrs. Karman has affirmed that those affected by the counter-revolution, together with the great February revolutionaries, will retake the lead and will one day make an undefeatable revolution that would lead its people to freedom, democracy and prosperity.
