SANAA, 21 April 2004 — The Yemeni government is planning to pass a law that will deal with the country’s campaign against terrorism, Justice Minister Adnan Al-Jifri said.
He told US Ambassador Edmund J. Hull that his ministry was drafting a “law on fighting terrorism in Yemen,” according to Saba news agency. The minister said the new law would include a “precise definition” of terrorism. It would also establish legal procedures for counter-terrorism.
Yemen, a close ally with the United States in the fight against terrorism, has been widely criticized by human rights groups for detaining dozens of suspects without trials.
