Extractions: Main Index I don't know about my friend Ledeen. He keeps pushing this freedom and democracy thing. Maybe he should give it a rest. But he keeps guilting me into helping try to bring human rights into obscure and supposedly hopeless places like Lebanon... scratch that... I mean Yemen. [ That's better.-ed. His latest idealistic foray concerns this journalist Adbulkarim al-Khaiwani who is currently in jail there for the crime of "insulting the president." What did this insult consist of? Al-Khaiwani wrote an op-ed questioning Yemen's President Saleh for bombing his own country and killing an estimated four hundred people. According to blogger Jane of the website Armies of Liberation He was prohibited from seeing his lawyer and raising a defense at his trial. His appeal has been delayed 5 times. He's been beaten in jail, once resulting in a broken jaw. I'm not saying he's Gandhi but I know he's been pushing for a democratic Yemen. The Yemeni government is abusing its own laws in the way it's treating him. He's in jail for his opinions. Armies of Liberation has a petition to President Saleh on behalf of al-Khaiwani and other Yemeni journalists. Perhaps readers here and other bloggers and their readers can join me in signing it.

Sources close to the leader of the armed rebels, Hussein Al-Houthi, say that the death toll is higher, and that at least 200 people have been killed. A week into the fighting, Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh sent a delegation to convince Al-Houthi and his followers to surrender, but according to Minister of Interior Rashad Al-Alimi, "Houthi refused all mediation efforts by parliamentarians, Muslim scholars and government officials to surrender peacefully." The ministry also said that 120 government security and military forces and 21 militants had been wounded in the clashes and 331 Al-Houthi followers arrested. "The operation will continue until we arrest all the wanted men," said Al-Alimi.

Extractions: Published in Cairo by AL-AHRAM established in 1875 Recommend Comment Printer-friendly Mediation between the Yemeni government and the rebel cleric's army has moved up a gear, but will the siege finally end? Peter Willems reports Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh has put together a delegation of over 25 officials to convince militant cleric Hussein Al-Houthi and his armed followers, who are currently holed up in north Yemen, to surrender. The delegation, comprising leading Islamic scholars, politicians and Al-Houthi's brother, Yahya, who is a member of parliament, are offering the religious leader a fair trial. Many hope that the negotiations will succeed in ending clashes between government forces and Al- Houthi's supporters that have lasted for more than a month and a half. The official body count is now over 300, but witnesses near the battleground say the death toll is much higher. "I hope that these talks work. This is the best way to finish the conflict peacefully, and it would be beneficial to Yemen," said Mohamed Al- Muttawakil, assistant secretary-general of the Popular Forces Union Party and former minister of supply and trade who was asked to join the delegation but turned it down due to health problems. Some analysts doubt that the delegation will be able to break the deadlock. Saleh sent two delegations to negotiate with Al-Houthi last month, but Al-Houthi said he would rather fight than surrender.

Extractions: On Friday September 5th and Saturday September 6th, 2003, the Ambassador of Yemen to the United States, in cooperation with the Freer Gallery of Art of the Smithsonian Institution and the American Institute for Yemeni Studies, hosted a two-day symposium on the cultural heritage of Yemen at the Meyer Auditorium of the Freer Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. One of the objectives of the Symposium was to introduce Yemen and its rich culture to the U.S. public, and hence lead to a better understanding of the people and culture of Yemen. Since the tragic attacks of September 11th, unfortunate stereotypes about Yemen and the larger region have been reinforced for the U.S. public. The Symposium therefore was an opportunity to foster and improve existing dialogue, exchange, and cooperation between the United States and Yemen, especially through culture, education, and development programs. The Symposium program brought together experts on Yemen in fields such as architecture, archaeology, crafts, restoration, history, music, and development cooperation from different parts of the world, including Yemen, the U.S., Canada, France, and Germany. They discussed their contribution to the cultural landscape of Yemen and, they presented ideas on how to strengthen international collaboration in their specific fields.
Extractions: 27 January 1999 Relations between Britain and Yemen continue to deteriorate daily. On January 25, Yemen made an official request for the extradition of Muslim cleric, Abu Hamza al-Masri, amidst claims that Britain had a long record of harbouring terrorist groups intent on destabilising the Yemeni government. The official Yemeni news agency said a letter from President Saleh addressed to Tony Blair "expresses the discontent of the Yemeni Government with the terrorist activities led by the terrorist Abu Hamza al- Masri and other people from British territory." On December 23 seven men were arrested, including three Britons of Pakistani origin. The Yemeni government claimed they were carrying plans to blow up a church, a hotel and the British consulate. They also say weapons, bomb-making equipment and terrorist training videos were found. Those arrested included Hamza-al-Masri's stepson and an Algerian who is engaged to his sister. His 17-year-son is still on the run. The men and their relatives have denied all charges. Confessions by three of those arrested are said to have been extracted under torture and have been withdrawn.

At least eight Yemenis died when rioters and security forces clashed in different areas of Yemen Wednesday, a day after the government said it would reduce subsidies on oil products by more than half. Early morning, angry protesters marched in the streets of San'a and in other cities of Yemen, pelting security forces with stones, setting tires on fire and attacking public property in defiance of the government's decision to impose a 7-month old decision to minimize subsidies on oil products.

Extractions: Yemen, the most impoverished country on the Arabian peninsula, has embarked on a process of political liberalization, albeit with mixed results. The process was triggered by the May 1990 agreement that unified the formerly hostile states of North Yemen (the Yemen Arab Republic, or yar) and South Yemen (the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen, or pdry). In each state, the ruling party had not allowed multiparty politics since its assumption of power, in1962 in the yar and in 1967 in the pdry. Past rights violations included arbitrary and incommunicado detention, unfair trials, abuse of prisoners and detainees, and restrictions on freedom of speech and assembly. The transitional government, a coalition of the two former ruling parties that was formed with unification, has eased the patterns of state-sponsored repression that had been common in both nations. Most Yemenis formerly living in exile returned to the country, and general amnesties freed many, but not all, of the political prisoners. In 1992, institutions of civil society continued to develop, as political parties openly participated in the system and scores of opposition newspapers and magazines flourished. At the same time, the climate was marred by incidents of political violence by unidentified forces. The country's first parliamentary election since unification was scheduled to be held by November 22, and would have represented the first legislative contest on the Arabian peninsula based on universal suffrage and competition between political parties. Although parliament's power does not equal that granted by the constitution to the five-member Presidential Council, the election was viewed as significant as a forum for legitimizing the expansion of civil society in Yemen. But on November 14, the Presidential Council announced that the election would be postponed until April 27, 1993, thus extending the life of the transitional government beyond that envisaged at unification. The government's explanation for the move, which caused an outcry by some opposition political parties, was that the 17-member multiparty Supreme Elections Committee-whose chair is a member of the Presidential Council-had been unable to complete the tasks assigned to it in preparation for the election.

Extractions: Recent Reports Support HRW World Report 1999 Order Online YEMEN Human Rights Developments On September 25 President Ali Abdallah Saleh won the first Yemeni direct presidential election, gaining an officially claimed 96.3 percent of the total vote, and entering his fifth term in office. The president pledged to fight corruption and build a modern state based on law and order. In his first act as he entered his new term he resigned his position as head of the Supreme Judicial Council, a measure that could contribute to judicial independence. In 1999 human rights problems in Yemen received greater international attention largely because of the high-profile trial of eight British and two Algerian nationals on charges of planning terrorist attacks in the country. The trial in Aden, which resulted in convictions in August and prison terms of between seven months and seven years, highlighted serious shortcomings in the Yemeni justice system, including arbitrary detention, torture, and unfair trials. Women convicted of violating traditional sexual mores were sometimes held in detention beyond the end of their sentence until a male guardian collected them from the prison. Many prisoners and detainees were held in unregulated detention centers operated by tribal leaders or branches of the security forces. Journalists and opposition political leaders were frequently subjected to detention, assault, or intimidation by security forces and unidentified armed gangs. Newspapers were subjected to closures and arbitrary restrictions in violation of local and international law. Reporters who exposed government corruption were particular targets. In the run-up to presidential elections in September, only one candidate was permitted to stand for elections against incumbent President Ali Abdullah Saleh and he was a member of the president ruling political party.
