Al-Eryani calls on Arab Journalists do more to advocate Yemeni peers

[20/07/2017 07:03]

CAIRO-SABA
Yemen's Information Minister Muammar al-Eryani has called on the Federation of Arab Journalists to do more to advocate their Yemeni peers.

In a meeting with the Federation's deputy chairman Hatem Zakaria and other federation members in Cairo on Thursday, minister al-Eryani said he is ambitious to see "the federation play a greater and more effective role by conveying (to the world) the Yemeni journalists' suffering as a result of the rebel militias' criminal violations."

The minister also hoped for professional and promotional support to Yemeni journalists from Egypt including facilitating their entries to and residence in Egypt.

He gave Zakaria an account on Yemen's transitional period through the coup and to the latest political and humanitarian developments.

Minister al-Eryani mentioned that Yemen's journalists are subjected to arbitrary arrest, intimidation, killing and several other forms of abuse in the rebel-held areas.

He laid special emphasis on the magnitude of kidnapped and forcibly disappeared journalists in the militias' jails.

He cited the case of Yahya Abdurraqeeb Aljubiehi whom the militia tried in a court of their own for no more than 10 minutes before sentencing him to death, a historical precedence.

The minister expressed his desire for re-activating the agreements of cooperation between Yemen and the federation espically in regards to training programs.
