Though hardly in a position to amend the situation, UN is profoundly concerned about grave human rights violations in Syria, Bahrain and Yemen, as governments crack down on unrelenting protestors demanding political overhaul and participation. Office of High Commissioner for Human Rights says that many opposition leaders and activists have been targeted across the country.

The Preparatory Committee for the establishment of the “Democrates Liberaux” party, which is the unique Tunisian Humanist Party in the political arena, expressed deep concern and puzzlement about the overreaction of the national security forces towards the citizens and journalists and political activists who were present in the capital Tunis.

Dear Barack Obama,
I am writing to you fraternally, and to express concern and indignation at witnessing the destruction and death spread across various countries in the name of “freedom and democracy”, two bastardised and meaningless words that are used to justify the killing which is today celebrated like a sports event.
