ADEN-SABA
The Supreme Judiciary Council's chairman has denounced the coup militia's interference in judicial authority affairs, after the coup militia appointed staunch loyalists members in their own version of the council in Sana'a.
The chairman, Ali Naser Salem, said the militia has been violating the authority's independence and implicating it in the ongoing political and military conflict by appointing their loyalists in key positions within the council. The militia had - by resolutions. appointed senior judiciary officials including a public prosecutor.
Salem said the Saleh-Houthi militias aim to maintain control over the judiciary and use its powers to settle scores with their opponents, as one advantage, and let go of their freedom and rights violations, by non-objection, as another.
The militias' resolutions were issued in violation to the Law on Judiciary Power no. 1 and its amendments and to the principles of judiciary independence enshrined in the UN General Assembly's covenants to which Yemen is a signatory.
