Archivist Notes
Full Name: Abdul Qawi Mohammed Saleh Al-Asfour | عبدالقوي محمد صالح العصفور
Killed in an Israeli bombing of the offices of two press outlets namely, September 26 and Al-Yaman newspapers, in the Yemeni capital, killing 25 journalists.
He worked for the Department of the Moral Guidance.
His friend, Mohammed Noman Alshehabi, wrote in a final tribute on Facebook: "He died as he lived: light, pure, and tireless. Abdulqawi Mohammed Saleh Al-Asfour was martyred in a treacherous Zionist raid on the Moral Guidance Department in Sana'a. He was a human being before he was a journalist; he was a living conscience walking the earth. He departed without leaving behind any debt or pain, but he left us with an incurable sadness."
