Protests in UK for al-Khaiwani’s Release

Filed under: al-Khaiwani — by Jane Novak at 7:25 pm on Thursday, August 28, 2008

Protestors carrying placards highlighting the plight of jailed journalists will be out and about in King Street, Hammersmith.

They will be part of a protest by Hammersmith and Fulham Amnesty International which is setting up a booth on Saturday, August 30 from 10.30am to 4pm.

The campaigners will focus on cases in the Yemen, Iran and Uzbekistan where journalists have been imprisoned.

These include that of Yemeni Abdul Karim al-Khaiwani who was due to visit London on 17th June to receive an Amnesty award for human rights journalism from BBC correspondent Alan Johnston.

He could not attend, having just been sentenced to six years in prison for his articles criticising government policy.

BANNED IN YEMEN SINCE 2007

Committee to Protect JournalistsAccess to U.S. journalist Jane Novak’s Web site, Armiesofliberation, which is frequently critical of the Yemeni government, was repeatedly blocked inside Yemen.

Yemen Observer The security source said that the captured elements’ confessions disclosed that they used to write reports about public opinion trends and sent them together with some photographs to Abdulmalik al-Huthi and external journalists, particularly to the American journalist Jane Novak.

The New York Times Ms. Novak’s perpetual harping on these themes appears to infuriate the Yemeni authorities.

Yemen Times Jane Novak, an American researcher, interviewed Hashid, addressing issues related to human rights, freedom, prisons, and inmates in Yemen. The interview was downloaded onto many news websites, enraging a lot of people.

Neue Zürcher Zeitung, Swiss For the Yemeni government, she has become something like enemy of the state number one.

Expresso, Portugal But thousands of miles away in a land where ever was, all readers of newspapers know who is Jane. In Yemen, Jane has become a nightmare for the regime.

Armies of Liberation

Theme Song

Franklin D. Roosevelt (Dec. 24, 1943): And today we salute our unseen allies in occupied countries, the underground resistance groups and the Armies of Liberation. They will provide potent forces against our enemies......There have always been cheerful idiots in this country who believed that there would be no more war for us if everybody in America would only return into their homes and lock their front doors behind them.

Harry S. Truman (May 8, 1945): They have violated their churches, destroyed their homes, corrupted their children, and murdered their loved ones. Our Armies of Liberation have restored freedom to these suffering peoples, whose spirit and will the oppressors could never enslave.
