A peace activist on the Marmara....

This is Sheikh Mohammed al-Hazimi, a member of the Yemeni Parliament and of Al-Islah, aboard the Mavi Marmara.

There was incitement by the hard core of IHH operatives during preparations for the confrontation. Among the slogans shouted were “Allah shall instill fear in their hearts.” One of the most vociferous was sheikh Muhammad al-Hazimi, a member of the Yemeni Parliament and of Al-Islah (the Yemini reform bloc) (also photographed aboard the ship holding a curved dagger).
