Yemen Supreme Court Sanctions Prison Terms [Archives:2000/17/Local News]

A Yemeni judicial source has recently said that Yemen’s Supreme Court has supported imprisonment terms against seven Moslem Britons convicted last year on terrorism charges.
A Yemeni court had tried last year seven men aged between 17 and 33 of Pakistani or Arab origin and found them guilty of forming a terrorist band aimed at carrying out sabotage acts in Yemen. The convicts were sentenced by the court to prison terms ranging between 3 and 7 years.
They were among ten persons arrested following the 1998 kidnapping of 16 Western tourists in Yemen. Four of the tourists were killed during a rescue attempt by Yemeni authorities.
