The Reactor of Al-Iman University, Sheikh, Abdulmajeed Al-Zandani denied news that has been circulated by some of the local media concerning the closure of the university, adding that the measure of closing its doors is a temporary measure with the aim of practical proposes. In a statement to YT Al-Zandani said that foreign students are treated as the Yemeni students according to the laws and the official orders in all the Yemeni universities.
