Prime Minister Mohammad Salem Basindowa has accused the former president Ali Abdullah Saleh of committing the crime of Al-Karama Friday on which forces loyal to Saleh killed dozens protesters and injured hundreds others.

On a ceremony marking the annual anniversary of Al-Karama Friday held on Sunday, Basindowa affirmed that the events of Al-Karama Friday pushed many Yemeni officials to denounce the massacre, pointing out that some military divisions declared their support to the revolution.
He strongly criticized the propaganda used by officials loyal to Saleh against the interim government, reminding them of power outages and the acute oil derivatives under the rule of Saleh.
He cited that his government works to provide essential services, stressing that most people know who stand behind insecurity and attacking power lines in some areas, pointing out to those people are aids and supporters of Saleh.
He declared about a government donation of YR 50 million for the families of martyrs of the Yemeni revolution.
Meanwhile , President Abdu-Rabo Hadi issued a decree of appropriating all civilians who were killed in 2011 due to the peaceful protests as martyrs of the nation.
