“Oh Ali go go, the chair beneath you is rusting!”

an exerpt from a blogger "Muhamad Ali al Muhamadi is a 38 year mechanic. He did not belong to a political party and he did not own a television. He had six children and worked illegally Saudi garages. He saw the demonstration while walking to work. “I joined because I am against the regime. I faced difficulties from sheikhs and others and these problems destroyed my family. They even shot at my children while I was working in Saudi Arabia. I went to the justice institutions and despite all the confessions and proof they increased injustice, in addition to what we suffer economically. From this I concluded that the Yemeni government uses the law to serve the strong and doesn’t serve the poor class and labor class and as one of the Yemeni people that is persecuted its my right to express my feelings and defend our rights and our freedom and our honor."
