Hashish in Yemen [Archives:2002/50/Local News]

A person from African origin has been caught by security in Shabwa governorate for possessing 2.25 kg of hashish narcotics.
The Yemeni Saba Agency reported the man is appearing before court.
Several similar cases have occurred this year, including where ten individuals were caught red-handed having hashish.
“Through conducting investigation and the confessions made by convicts, it has been made clear that there has been an organized gang residing in Yemen illegally. The controlled hashish has the same property as that was detected before,” Judge Habtoor said.
The judge noted further that the gang is attempting to smuggle hashish to other adjacent countries.
