Aden, Newsyemen:
Nizar Haitham, spokesperson for the Southern Transitional Council, confirmed that the council believes in freedom of expression, which is a right that is not subject to derogation or infringement.
Haitham said, in a statement on Tuesday, that the council was and will remain strongly committed in protecting public rights and freedoms, including freedom and the right to expression, and that it will not accept any prejudice to this right.
He added, "It is unfortunate that the forces of what are called legitimacy still believe that they can, through the counterfeiting of documents and data, show the council as an institution that restricts rights and freedoms and exercises silenced, as it does through acts of repression and abuse of the media and press to reach incitement against media cadres." As happened to the martyr global photographer Nabil Al-Qaiti, may God have mercy on him.
He continued, while we were in the transitional council, we expect that the institutions of the so-called legitimacy will contribute even a little effort to revealing who is behind the assassination of the hero Al-Qaiti, we were surprised by the intensification of their efforts in fabricating cases that did not occur with the aim of distancing attention from the main crime in an attempt to clear its name and shuffle the cards regarding terrorist crimes, targeting and the constant threats of southern media symbols by individuals and entities that are known to the legitimate.
The Transitional Council affirmed that it is not related to any forged document aimed at restricting the freedom of any individual or media organization, regardless of the discrepancy with its political speech.
