| 2010-12-12 |
| [Yemen Post] A Yemeni court, specialized in the cases of terrorism and state security in Aden province sentenced to death, Fares Abdullah Saleh, 25, the main suspect behind the bombing of Al-Wahdah Sports Club in Shiekh Othman district, Aden, which killed at least four people, and maimed 14 others on October 11. Local sources said that the court sentenced the second suspect, Fares's brother, Raed Abdullah Saleh, to five years in jail, while the third, fourth, and fifth were acquitted. In return, hundreds of people protested in Dhale province denouncing the verdict, rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud against the government, and blocked off the main road and burned tires in the town's centre. Late last week, Yemeni authorities released dozen of southern movement detainees, including Hassan Ba'om, the head of the Supreme Council of the Southern Movement, and his colleagues, who were jugged nearly month ago. |
