Taiz, Newsyenen, special:
A local official affiliated with the Terrorist Brotherhood leased state land to an influential security leader who belongs to the same organization and heads a private university in the central Yemeni city of Taiz.
Khaled al-Burkani, director of the Waqf and Guidance Office in Taiz province, rented the land of the Agricultural Research Station's Asfara farm, in a serious violation of the law, local sources told Newsyemen.
According to official documents, al-Burkani leased 1,582 kasbahs from the land of the Agricultural Research Station to the Brotherhood's president, Mohamed Mahioub al-Melki, who had previously looted a government property to build his own university.
In an official document, The Ta'izz Brotherhood's director Khaled al-Burkani claimed that it was a waqf land, and that the truth was land belonging to the agricultural research station, walled since the 1960s.
In an official memorandum, the Director of The Waqf called on the Head of The Appeals Prosecutor to direct the Director of the General Authority for Land, Space and Urban Planning to register the land in the name of waqfs in order to pass the looting of research lands.
In another official memorandum, the Director of the Waqf Office also asked the chief prosecutor to issue a court order to the Director General of Taiz police to protect contractors working to cut agricultural research land in favour of Mohammed Mahioub.
The information indicates that the director of the Waqf office received a sum of (100 million Yemeni riyals) in exchange for the looting and leasing of agricultural research lands and then to own them to Mohammed Mahioub under judicial orders and directives.
State land and real estate were rejected and the Waqf office's claims about ownership of this large area were overturned, and the Waqf office was unable to substantiate their claims.
Hammoud Moqbel, director of the Agricultural Research Center in Taiz, condemned the attacks on the land of the Research Department, noting that they have been under their control since the late 1960s.
"The law criminalizes construction on agricultural land, and it is more horrible for the land to be a research farm and to abuse its sanctity from those who are supposed to protect it," Said Moqbel, in a post on his Facebook page.
