al Jazeera re-opens in Yemen; no news on al Ayyam
Its lovely that al Jazeera got its license back after the office was looted, but there’s a trial going on regarding al Ayyam which was shot up with women and children inside and even the state’s witnesses are now admitting the evidence and prior testimony is bogus. When can al Ayyam re-publish? Its really a sore spot in the south and across Yemen.
Yemen Fox: Yemeni Information Minister Ali al-Emrani undertook to reopen the office of al-Jazeera TV Channel in Sana’a and return licenses to the crew of the office to practice the profession.
That came in a meeting gathered Information Minister Ali al-Emrani and Envoy of International Federation of Journalists in the Middle East Muneer Zaarur on Wednesday.
For his part, Secretary-General of Journalist Syndicate Marwan Dammaj reviewed the issue of al-Jazeera TV Channels and what it was subjected to from confiscating, looting, closing and pursuing correspondents and staff and canceling license.
