Tom Finn
was reporting from Yemen in the investigation and has witnessed Tawakul Karman role. He said:
She played an important role in the rise in Yemen, now in its eighth month. She was one of the first people to go to the back of Sana'a in January, when the protests were just bursting and was on the steps of the appeal stage as the events were still small and vulnerable, which was essentially the head for small events, which in turn incorporated into this great movement we see now ...
too, I suppose, the recognition of years of work has been done well before the revolt in Yemen. She created an organization called Women Journalists Without Chains and was holding demonstrations outside the prison demanding the release of prisoners of conscience, demanding the rights of women journalists. So clearly it is a recognition of years of work and struggle for the most part, and of course she is a woman and was seen as an inspiration for many women in Yemen and women in the Arab Middle East.
There are elements of the controversy that surrounds it. She is known for a very brave and aggressive style. She is the one you find in the stadium called the protesters to leave, even when pulled, and I know that some demonstrators who do not favor this approach can often end in bloodshed and violence. There is an element of controversy, as expected, around figures like these that are known by many people in Yemen. But the overriding feeling I get is that it's just a massive celebration. It's just good news for the Yemenis and their country.
24:06: Many people are pointing Tawakul Karman on Twitter to receive the Nobel Peace Prize was not even mentioned on TV Yemeni state - perhaps not surprising because it is a loud critic President Ali Abdullah Saleh
11:47 spoken to Gauri Van Gulik, defender of women's rights at Human Rights Watch, who said the recognition of the Nobel Committee of the three women should be a catalyst for change:
I think it's an incredible recognition of what we can do with women in the peace process and democracy. I think these women are here only because they are women. They received the award because of his incredible role to date in the overthrow of regimes and the change of democracies in the world. is a clear statement that says you can not achieve lasting peace, democracies if women are part of the process if the rights of women are at the heart of the reform and what is Unfortunately, not seen in some places that have gone through this Arab spring, where women such as Egypt, where women are at the heart of the process. We worked with them [the winners] and more recently with Ms. Karman in Yemen, where the struggle is very alive and is a fight that everyone should be careful and no doubt that this award will help be.
Van Gulik
also hopes that more women are recognized in the future by the Nobel committee.

Writing in The Guardian in April urged the Karman U. S. and Europe to demand the impeachment of President Saleh:
be clear: the Yemeni revolution has brought internal stability of a state torn by wars and conflicts. I urge the international community to support the peaceful revolution as it did in Tunisia and Egypt. I appeal to the United States and the European Union to say that Saleh has to leave now, in response to requests of his people. It must end all support for his regime, especially those used to crush peaceful dissent - tear gas as "Made in America" ??on them. You have to freeze the assets of the family of henchmen and Saleh Saleh return them to the people.If the U.S.
Europe and even the support of the people, as they say, must not betray our peaceful revolution. It expresses the democratic will of the vast majority of the population of Yemen.
