Yemeni journalist gets six years hard labor for telling the truth about the regime
The other day I told you about New Jersey mom Jane Novak and her relentless blogging on the subject of the treacherous Yemeni regime and their persecution of journalist Abdul Karim al-Khaiwani. Al-Khaiwani faced the death penalty, and he might very well have gotten it without international coverage of Jane’s campaign.
Still, he got six years hard labor.
Thank God for the free press in this country.
If you want to see what it was that got al-Khaiwani in so much trouble, and what the Yemeni government is punishing him for exposing, you can check it out at the Jawa Report. But be warned–the photographic evidence of Yemen’s “Sudan-like” jihad against its own people that al-Khaiwani wrote about is horrifying and not for the squeamish.
Jane’s blog is here, and she’s still fighting.

six years hard labor there is probably the death penalty after he’s beaten on a daily basis. sad.
Thanks S/D for this and for Jane helping. We can only hope the free press, blogging, is going to continue in our country.

Agreed, AJ. It could well end up as a death sentence for him.
I am expecting a resurgence of efforts on the so-called “Fairness Doctrine” in coming months, L. But, maybe I am just skeptical.
Why would you randomly kill your own citizens?
It blows my mind how the powerful become the powerful sometimes.
The Press is a government’s best friend and can be its worse enemy.
6 years for showing the truth. Sad to say it won’t be the last journalist this will happen to.
Jane Novak, “A person of light”.
This is real “truth to power”, not the fake stuff the lefties like to scream about here.
#3 Agree. It will probably be in some bill that passes on page 25,000.

Ahhh, another “peaceful”, Muslim government. Satan is alive and well and living in the middle east.
AHHHHHH……………….
The RELIGION of PEACE………..

The Religion of Violent Death strikes again.
Wonder when CAIR will try to shut Jane Novak down?
Barry F. re: “I am expecting a resurgence of efforts on the so-called “Fairness Doctrine” in coming months, L. But, maybe I am just skeptical.”
Naw, not till after the election & you are not skeptical, just “grumpy”.
I hope we can persuade him to immigrate to the US. We are in dire need of courageous journalists. I’m sure he appreciates to a larger degree that which our journalists take for granted.
I have the same question, #4, why do governments engage in random genocide of innocents?
Anyone understand this?
Yemen, Canada, what’s the difference?
We’re all citizens of the Kingdom. Borders are irrelevant. All belongs to Allah. If Allah wills that his people die random, vicious deaths, it will be done. You insult Islam to question the judgement of Allah’s representatives.
Maybe Susan Sarandon will move to Yemen if McCain wins. Hopefully she will take hubby with her.
All the more reason to keep the fairness doctrine non-existent.
