The #NoDrones in #Yemen Campaign

Yemenis launched in May 2012 a campaign to reject the drone strikes in Yemen that kill innocent civilians and breeds extremism and resentment. It is a failed US counterterrorism strategy, check its effectiveness in Afghanistan and Pakistan!

    100+ of deaths go unnoticed & unreported, innocent lives are claimed in the futility of US Drone extrajudicial justice #NoDrones #Yemen

    killing a 16-year old while barbecuing w/ friends is barbaric. Repeating the same over & over again is way beyond words #NoDrones #Yemen

    We will start a twitter war against #Drones in #Yemen as the #US continues to kill civilians in the name of "war on terror". #NoDrones

    Dear Mr. Brennan, Your policy has proved a failure in #Pakistan, why try it in #Yemen? It is obviously doomed to fail, sincerely #NoDrones

    Drones became hush hush topic in #Yemen. If you dare report on them, you'll be jailed & denied a fair trial. #NoDrones aljazeera.com/programmes/lis…

    Everyone has the right to be tried & sentenced if proven guilty, but drones just kill "suspects" & innocent civilians in #Yemen. #NoDrones

    In civilized society, wrongdoers have fair trial. In Medieval US Drone policy, people are reduced to shreds w/out trial or reason #NoDrones
