almotamar.net - The governor of Aden and chairman of the local council Ahmed al-Kuhlani valued Saturday the high understanding of the retired of the governorate in their response to the press release of their retired military colleagues represented in the committees working with the committees of the ministries of interior and defence and not listening to a suspicious group that wants to involve them in political issues and to be used as political card for dishonest purposes.

The governor affirmed that by virtue of cooperation by all residents of the economic capital Aden the people movement was normal all over the districts of the governorate on Saturday. He emphasised that demonstrations and sit-in are a legitimate constitutional right regulated by the law of marches and demonstrations, adding that all realize that the law has controls and mechanism for practicing that right. As a local authority there is n objection for any political party or a civil society organisation to organise any activity or stage a demonstration but should apply to the concerned authority in the governorate which in turn are committed to deal legally with the application and provide necessary protection to the licensed activity.

The governor thanked branches of some political parties in the governorate that presented legal requests for holding their activities in previous periods and were granted licenses. He pointed out that the group that wanted to commit chaotic acts in the name of the retired military men does not represent any real pensioned who has presented his grievance and the government responded positively to their complaints in line with directives of president Ali Abdullah Saleh.

Governor al-Kuhlani pointed out that the committees have settled conditions of a large portion of according to the law. He said the remaining complaints and legal dues will be dealt with in batches and will be published in the media tools. He said" Many of the retired have expressed their appreciation for the president's care for their situations that have been settled and have expressed their disregard to some limited groups possessing political aims serving their own interests, Aden security forces have previously seized a group of those and they confessed of their acts against the law. The president has however ordered that they should be set free."
