A committee was formed Wednesday March 23 including jurists, judges and other members from the intellectual dialogue committee to evaluate and discuss the situation of al-Houhti followers detained at the backdrop of Mran events, Saadah of last year.

Those who prove to not be involved in the support for the rebellious movement would be released. The release would also include those with whom the ideological dialogue has proved to be positive and have committed themselves to its results.

Judge Hamoud al-Hitar Chairman of the Ideological Dialogue Committee asserted that his committee met with President Saleh and came out with positive results, the most prominent of which is the release of Journalist Abdulkareem al-Khaiwani.

The committee also discussed the reasons behind upholding the trial of Yahya al-Dailami, Preacher of the Grand Qubat al-Mahdi Mosque in the old city of Sana'a and Mohammad Miftah Preacher of the Grand Mosque in al-Raudha to the north of the capital.

These two suspects were charged by prosecution with the formation of clandestine organization to support cleric Hussein al-Houthi who was killed by government troops a few months ago.
