Almotamar.net - An official source at the Yemeni Foreign Ministry on Tuesday expressed surprise over the statement of the spokesman for the American state department on Monday concerning the judicial sentence against Abdulkarim al-Khaiwani after an open and just trial among a group of sabotage that targeted a threat to security and stability of Yemen and the commitment of the murder crime of a security officer and one innocent child.

The source said it is strange that this statement comes under ignoring violations of human rights in Guantanamo, Iraq, Afghanistan and others in the world, which have been condemned by all humanitarian organisations in the world, in addition to the political prosecution of sheikh Mohammed al-Mouayad and his companion Mohammed Zaid for crimes they had not perpetrated but in the view of the American administration. The source pointed out that issues of human rights ought not to become means for political pressure or marketing and promoting the crime under consideration by justice, as issues of the freedom of expression.
The Foreign Ministry official source said the Republic of Yemen respects and principally committed to respect all freedoms particularly the human rights and the freedom of expression but at the same time is committed to the Yemeni laws that incriminate the practice of violence and fomenting for it and instigation of seditions all of which are at the end subject to the judiciary rule.
