ADEN-SABA
The Presidency of consultative Shura Council, the upper house of Yemen's parliament has said it is "following with great concern" the death sentences issued by a Houthi-run court against three citizens who hail from Al Mahwit governorate in north Yemen over trumped-up espionage charges.
The terrorist militia had accused Ismail Abu Al-Ghaith, Sagheer Farea, and Abdul Aziz Al-Aqili, three education officials of being spying to foreign states before a militant-run court in Sana'a handed them down death sentences.
In a statement today, the Presidency of the Shura Council said it "condemns the politicization of the judiciary and its use to fulfill the desires and goals of the terrorist Houthi militia, and stresses the unlawfulness of these rulings and the bodies issuing them, and warns them against proceeding with this option."
The statement indicated that these practices constitute a flagrant violation of human rights, and the use of the judiciary as a political tool to take revenge on opponents and political opponents in areas controlled by the terrorist Houthi militia.
The statement called human rights organizations to quickly intervene to stop these rulings and save the lives of innocent people, and pressure the terrorist Houthi militia to respect international laws, human rights, and the right of citizens to life in areas under their control.
