Lawyer prevented from defending al-Moayad [Archives:2005/878/Local News]

SANA'A- Sept. 17- A U.S. court has prevented Mr. Cohen, a U.S. national and defense-advocate of Sheikh al-Moayyad to visit his client.

Lawyer Khaled Al-Anisi told the 26 September Net that he received a telephone call from Stanley Cohen telling him that the court rejected his defense for al-Moayyad and prevented him from visiting his client.

Cohen signaled out that he did not receive any written justification for such refusal, but he confirmed he would appeal and, in case the appeal is refused, he will show his defiance before the Supreme Court.

Cohen visited Yemen last August and got a power of attorney from al-Moayyad's family to defend him during the appeal phase, as he once said at a press statement that the ruling was politicized and unfair and the trial lacked justice.
