Yemeni Nobel laureate to U.N.: No immunity for Saleh


NEW YORK (Reuters) - Yemeni Nobel peace laureate Tawakul Karman made an impassioned plea to the United Nations on Tuesday to repudiate a Gulf Arab plan that would grant immunity to her country's "war criminal" president.

Karman arrived in New York as the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council circulated a draft resolution to the full 15-nation body that urges the swift "signature and implementation" of the Gulf Arab plan, under which Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh would be immune from prosecution.
