AbulElah Shyea received the Alkarama Human Rights Award on 10 December 2013.

Based in Geneva, Al Karama Foundation is as a human rights organization.

Al Karama handed him the award for revealing that US drones had made civilian casualties. And as a matter of fact, the Yemeni journalist denounced the 17 December 2009 attack on the village of Al-Ma’jalah, which resulted in 55 civilian casualties, including 14 women and 21 children. Since that time, he is considered as a specialist of American blunders.

On his website, AbulElah Shyea reveals that he was imprisoned between 2010 and 2013 “on the orders of President Obama.” Al-Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki (an American of Yemeni origin) who was killed by a US drone in 2011 had supported Al Shaey during his imprisonment.

A few days before receiving the award, AbulElah Shyea posted a tweet on Fort Hood and Boston attacks and was delighted at terrorists’ age.

In the same vein, he declared on his Facebook page that “Jewish gangs control America.”

Le Temps newspaper attempted to determine whether it was appropriate to give the Alkarama Human Rights Award to AbulElah Shyea.

Mourad Dhina, Foundation spokesperson, declared the following:

“We condemn Shyea remarks. However, he is in a very fragile psychological situation. We wondered whether we should withdraw the award, but we felt that his battle against drones was more important than his tweets.”
