By JALAL AL-SHARAABI
Students of Medicine staged demonstrations and sit-ins to protest against the inhuman crime of Mohammed Adam at the Morgue of Sana’a University. Last Wednesday, about 5,000 students of Sana’a University demanded action against the University rector, the dean of the College of Medicine as well as all those who are directly or indirectly involved in the gruesome tragedy.
The demonstration which was led by the mother of the Iraqi victim, Zainab, marched from Sana’a University to the cabinet office where the cabinet was holding a casual meeting. A group of 6 demonstrators including Zainab’s mother were chosen to meet with Prime Minister, Dr. Abdul Karim Al-Iryani. The Minister of Interior assured the demonstrators that investigations were going on and that anyone involved in the crime would be punished. On the other hand students insisted to continue their demonstrations.
Journalists were not allowed to take photos of the demonstration. The camera of the corespondent of the London-based Al-Quds Al-Arabi was snatched away while trying to capture demonstrators.
The Sudanese community in Yemen released a statement condemning the heinous crime of Mohammed Adam saying that it was an abnormal case which did not reflect the nature of Sudanese people with whom Yemenis enjoy warm relationship. Sudanese teachers at the Sana’a University also condemned the crime of Mohammed Adam describing him as a cannibal.
Following the students’ demonstration, Prime Minister gave orders to suspend the dean, vice-dean, and all security guards of the College of Medicine.
