Sanaa, NewsYemen, Exclusive:
On Monday, March 29, 2021, a Houthi court issued a presumptive death sentence for 9 people, amid media controversy surrounding their description.
While local sources in Hajjah governorate said that they were accused in the case of the killing of security men in 2011, political activists considered them among the youth of the Islah party (the Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen), the participants in the February 11 revolution and the 2011 protests, which ended with the transfer of the authority of President Saleh's regime to the partners of the squares. According to the Gulf Initiative signed in Riyadh on November 23, 2011.
According to the lawyer, Hadi Wardan, the default ruling imposed a payment of 180 million riyals and a 10-year prison sentence for 9 others, one of whom was deceased.
On his Facebook page, Lawyer Wardan said that the court has charged malicious and political charges against those he described as (the revolution detainees), explaining these charges (overthrowing the regime, causing the killing of security officers, causing disturbances to public peace, and spreading discord in the country).
Wardan pointed out that a previous primary ruling was issued against 18 of these people before the Houthis entered Sanaa, and said that the ruling “ruled absolutely innocence against many of them from the charges against them and the rest were fined sums of money paid in kinship,” adding: “However, the Houthi group politicized the ruling and issued against them. Sentenced to death in discretion by firing squad. "
While (NewsYemen) was not able to see a copy of the hypothetical ruling issued and its merits, activists on social networks commented that they are accused of setting up an armed ambush in the Aqaba governorate of Hajjah about 10 years ago, and the officer Hammoud Qaid Hamzah Al-Adabai, a security director, and his companions were killed. When they were on a security mission to hand over a suspect in a murder case to the Public Prosecution Office, they condemned lawyer Wardan for calling them "Youth of the Revolution".
Commenting on the ruling, Yemeni political activist Olfat Al-Dobai considered the verdict void and "keeps people away from the peace process."
She wrote on her Facebook page: “Under the rule of the Houthis in Hajjah, the death penalty is issued against the youth who were participating in the 11th revolution and who are still in Hajjah prison so far, unjustly, under the pretext of overthrowing the regime.”
"While those who deserve a death sentence are the leaders of the Houthis themselves, who overthrew the national consensus by the military force of a regime that came in a peaceful way," she added.
Al-Debaei wondered: “How can it be correct to grant Saleh immunity and those imprisoned in connection with the events of the revolution are sentenced to death?”, In an implicit reference to the contents of the Gulf initiative that organized the mechanism for the transfer of power in Yemen.
Al-Debai believes that: "These are cases that are decided by transitional justice bodies," and asks: "Was it not enough that they spent nine years in prison?"
The Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen (the Reform Party), and in the midst of the events of 2011 AD, and what was known as the wave of the Arab Spring, legalized acts of violence, cut roads and attacks government camps and institutions, and celebrated such acts in the media as revolutionary actions that contribute to the acceleration of the overthrow of the regime and the establishment of the modern civil state According to the slogans of that stage.
With the same mechanism, the Joint Meeting Parties, including the Islah party, at that stage blessed the Houthi militia’s announcement to drop Saada Governorate as the first Yemeni governorate to fall into the hands of the 2011 revolutionaries in Yemen.
