Consequences of Death Threat against a Participant in the Women Conference Continue [Archives:1999/39/Local News]

A Moroccan participant in the Women Conference was threatened with death.
Dr. Abdul Hameed Al-Dailami, from Morocco and has the French nationality, introduced a paper in the Women Conference held in Sana’a, Yemen . He called for interpretations even if we have a Holy text. However, at night he received phone calls; one of them is from Dr. Abdul Rahman Ba Fadl, who has made a baseless belief from his personal translation of the paper that all that is written is nothing but infidelity. He strongly threatened Al-Dailami and said that if he did not get back from this belief, his life is going to be in danger. This has created an atmosphere of fear in the Moroccan delegation who contacted police security to protect them until they left the following day at eleven o’clock in the morning. The threat even exceeds Raoofah Hassan, the head of the center. This aggressive campaign against the center and its leader is led by a former minister and some politicians under religious claims.
