| [Yemen Post] Yemen Interior Minister Abdul-Kader Qahtan has affirmed that the Interior ministry has special plans to protect and secure the presidential elections. "We are preparing procedures and will do best to successfully hold the early presidential elections due to be held on February 21" he added. Qahtan further said the ministry would provide a safe environment to hold fair and free elections, pointing out that it would responsibly encounter any attempts to disturb the elections. In comments to the army-run 26 September newspaper, he urged all the employees of the ministry to do their best, stressing that the future of Yemen and building up a civil state depends on these historical elections. He made clear that tight security measures would be taken in centers of elections observation committees across all Yemeni governorates. "Yemen witnesses national reconciliation, and human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... and justice should be among the most important values of the Interior Ministry and its security services," he added. "Security services must establish new relations with citizens on the base of mutual respect and trust." Separately, thousands of people have been sitting in for a weak before the Police Leadership headquarter located beside the Interior Ministry, demanding to try several coppers who killed a cell phone citizen while he was coming back home after mid-night. The protesters said that the coppers Killed Abdul-Hameed Alwesabi, after they looted his many and cell phones. "He refused to surrender money, so they shot fire on him and left him bleeding until death," Adnan Mohammad, a protester told Yemen Post on Friday. " These coppers turned to become criminals and killers." |
