Well-informed sources told the Weekly that al-Khaiwani would be released in the coming few hours after signing the required pledges to abide by to the Constitution and laws in force and not to stir up sectarianism, regionalism strife or undermine the national unity, security and public order.

The president’s pardon to al-Khaiwani came after issuing directions on 9 September to free the detainees in link to stirring up sectarianism, regionalism strife on the occasion of Ramadan in addition to release a number of detainees involved on Saada rebellion

Abdul Karim al-Khaiwani was received a sentence of six years last June in the case of Sana’a Second Cell.
