Rajeh’s Sons Request Releasing their Father [Archives:2000/20/Local News]

Rajeh Yahya Al-Romaim has been in detention in the Central Prison since July 1993. He was charged with murder and sentenced to death on 19.11.1995 by Primary Court of Bani Al-Hareth. However, on 23,7.1997, the Sana’a Court of Appeal acquitted him and ordered his release immediately. Then, the case was taken to the Supreme Court which on 20.2.2000 passed a verdict endorsing the verdict of the Court of Appeal.
However, so far the prisoner was not set free. His sons wrote a petition to the president of the Republic and humanitarian organizations calling for implementing the court verdict and release their father. He is in terrible health and psychological condition to an extent that he would prefer to be executed rather than being left like that, his sons said.
