Nobel Peace Prize committee head speaks against Assad

Thorbjoern Jagland, the head of the Nobel Peace Prize selection committee, said at the award ceremony: "No dictator can in the long run find shelter from this wind of history.

"Not even President Saleh was able, and President Assad in Syria will not be able, to resist the people's demand for freedom and human rights," Jagland said. "The leaders in Yemen and Syria who murder their people to retain their own power should take note of the following: mankind's fight for freedom and human rights never stops." (Reuters)
