Christophe Robeet speaks to Tawakkol Karman during the first edition of the World Forum for Democracy in Strasbourg. The young icon of the Yemeni uprising criticises the world’s weak response to the Syrian crisis and says she dreams of the day Bashar al-Assad will be brought before the ICC. She also explains why Yemen has become a better place since Ali Abdullah Saleh agreed to relinquish power.
