YEMEN: HOUTHIS SENTENCED TO DEATH THREE ABDUCTEES ON CHARGES OF ‘ESPIONAGE FOR SAUDI ARABIA’
July 14, 2018: Houthis militia have sentenced to death three kidnapped on charges of "intelligence with Saudi Arabia". Lawyer Abdel Majid Sabra told the "Almasdar online" that the specialized criminal Court of the capital's secretariat was "recently revoked", sentencing three abductees from Sa'dah governorate to death. The Specialized Criminal Court of the capital, which was abolished by the Supreme Judicial Council of Aden, ended last April and transferred its jurisdiction to the city of Marib. According to lawyer Sabra, the death sentence was handed down in one hearing on July 14 and the execution of "Abdel Rahim Ghabshan al-Amri, Saleh Ayyash Saleh Suleiman, and Ahmed Dhaifallah Hamzi". He indicated out that one of the death row, Abdel Rahim Ghabshan, was arrested shortly before the launch of the Al-Hazm Storm announced by the Arab coalition, led by Saudi Arabia.
