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.
Human rights issues must not become means for political pressure
In 2007 the opposition Yemen Congregation for Reform (Islah) Islamic oriented Party maintained its having political and media sway over the Joint meeting Parties (JMP) block, also consisting of Yemen Socialist Party and the Nasserite Unionist Organisation. 
Yemen is practically a cool green paradise, with crisp mountain air, enormous acacia trees, pristine coral reefs and verdant fields bursting with khat, a psychoactive plant that induces mild euphoria. 
Sana'a: Yemen will not be able to combat terror without regional and international cooperation, said a Yemeni official, who warned of the ramifications of letting Yemen fight terrorism alone.
Many journalists covered the funeral of the murdered Minister, Pierre Gemayel, the latest victim in a string of political assassinations in Lebanon.
Doctors use the word “crisis” to describe the point at which a patient either starts to recover or dies. President George W. Bush’s Iraqi patient now seems to have reached that point. Most commentators appear to think that Bush’s latest prescription – a surge of 20,000 additional troops to suppress the militias in Baghdad – will, at best, merely postpone the inevitable death of his dream of a democratic Iraq. Yet as “Battle of Baghdad” begins, factors beyond Bush’s control and not of his making (at least not intentionally) may just save Iraq from its doom.
