In a statement to Yemen Times, Al-Shumou newspaper Editor-in-Chief, Seif Al-Hadhiri said that his newspaper had already appealed against the sentence of the Primary Court which suspended its publication for one month. The press law does not allow any attorney or any authority to shut down newspapers without a clear and decisive ruling from the Supreme Court, he stressed. The Primary Courts ruling suspended the newspaper from publication for one month and fined it YR 10,000 for defaming the President of Egypt, H.E. Husni Mubarak.
