Abdulkareem al-Khaiwani Censored

Yemeni journalist Abdulkareem al-Khaiwani is in prison. Jane Novak has this essay published in three newspapers in the Muslim world. From Pakistan's Daily Times:

He is not allowed a pen in a country of 60 million guns. Sentenced to one year at hard labour, he is in prison where he has been beaten, his jaw broken. His friends and colleagues may not speak with him. He is a newspaper editor...

Abdulkareem al-Khaiwani spends this night in a Yemeni prison because his inquiring pen is deemed a greater threat than the 60 million guns, when it is his pen that is among his nationÂ’s greatest assets.

Read the whole thing.

2 The shocker of the day. The article was also picked up from the Daily Times by the Iran Daily in Tehran. They dropped my name but kept the article verbatum.
