Court issues death sentence for convict in connection with aggression

The Criminal Appeals Court in the capital Sana’a upheld a death penalty for a convicted for communicating with a foreign country against Yemen.

In the session presided over by the court’s head Judge Abdullah al-Najjar, the court ruled to execute the convict Hadi al-Maslamani for aiding the Saudi enemy and its allies in its aggression against the country.

In November 2018, the Criminal Court in the capital Sanaa convicted al-Maslamani of communicating with a foreign country and drug trafficking.
