Ashoura newspaper board of directors is still refusing to pay its arrears to the former Editor-in-Chief Noman Qaeid who has been discharged from his post before the end of his contract with the paper despite the judgment passed by Sanaa court in his favor. 
A signature-collecting campaign is being launched by colleagues of the profession, men of law and non-governmental organizations in solidarity with Mr. Noman  especially after the Popular Forces Federation refused to pay him the arrears. 
Attagammu ( Yemeni Unitary Congregation) and Al-Usbooa (Independent) newspapers publish lists of names of those supporting Mr Noman. The report of Human Rights Committee issued two weeks ago pointed out several breaches the journalists in Yemen are subject to and Mr. Noman is one of them, in spite of the court decision in his favor.
