Article Summary:
Appeal Judge, a Forger
For the last 8 years, Mrs. Khadija Abdulwarith Qassem has been following her case around a hierarchy of courts. She accuses a man and a Court of Appeal judge of forgery and falsifying documents. The defendant had previously forged a title deed stripping Mrs. Qassem of the Aden house which she lived for several years. He claims to have inherited the house from his father.
The original case file went missing at the Court of Appeal, following a decision in her favor by the Primary Court. The woman was later detained, along with her daughter by the police.
