Al-Khaiwani Convicted of “disseminating pro-rebel propaganda to local and foreign media”
***This is a sticky scroll down for newer posts***
That’s callled being a journalist you, you, Dictotards! From what I understand from the local media, the other people were bringing medicine into Saada after the government blockaded everything. The government just randomly attached al Khaiwani to the case. Youze a terrist now boy! Anyway what happened today is the appeals court upheld all the convictions. The court upheld the death sentence on one of the “cell”. So what does this mean that Al-Khaiwani is convicted? Its probably to hold over his head as a threat.
Pro-rebel? This from the criminal government that is engaged in collective punishment of the civilian population and belongs in front of the ICC. Oh, lets just call it a jihad, a much more bling-ish description and quite appropriate considering the government is using terrorists to fight the Shiite rebels and starving and bombing the civilian population. And if the international humanitarian organizations want to know why they are just not getting access, they could look back to my 2005 article about the allegations of chemical weapons use in Sa’ada. This remains an unresolved question.
Sana’a, Yemen - Also involved in the case was Abdul-Kareem al-Khaiwani, former editor of the Shura opposition weekly, who had previously received a six-year jail sentence. He was convicted of disseminating pro-rebel propaganda to local and foreign media. Al-Khaiwani served eight months of his term before President Ali Abdullah Saleh pardoned him last year.
Update: GOOD! The stooge regime media is not mentioning him at all. Probably just a formality.
News Yemen: The Specialized Criminal Court in Sana’a on Monday upheld the death penalty against one of al-Houthi’s supporters and terms in jail against other 13 members charged with forming “al-Houthi Second Cell”, including journalist Abdul-Karim al-Khaiwani.
