YJS Calls for Journalist Release [Archives:2000/49/Local News]

It has been reported that Yemeni Journalists Syndicate have lodged a complaint lodged by the family of Ahmad Harmal who is an editor in al-Shoora newspaper. He was detained and put in custody in al-Dalae governorate three days ago without any legal warrant.
Essam Ahmad Hassan, a lawyer, was not allowed to visit the journalist and attend the interrogations. Furthermore, the prosecution representative was not aware of reasons behind the journalists detention. The syndicate condemned these acts and viewed them as a violation of the prosecution authority and the constitution.
The syndicate urged the Interior Minister and al-Dalae governor to interfere and release the journalist and let the law takes its course.
