Yemen hands down death sentences to ten more Houthi subversives
SANA'A, Oct. 20 (Saba) - Ten Houthi supporters were sentenced to death on Tuesday and five others given jail terms of 15 years, in a verdict that comes among a series of rulings delivered this week for the Bani Hushaish subversive groups charged with supporting the north-based insurgency.
The sentenced were convicted of forming a subversive gang that fought the troops
last year in support for the Houthi insurgents.
Indictments also included that the members looted the people's properties and
destroyed military equipment.
On Monday Houthi leader Al-Mohatwari was sentenced to death and ten other Houthi
followers received jail terms ranging from 8 to 10 years.
The group was convicted of taking part in a subversive gang in the district of Bani
Hushaish, Sana'a.
Yemen handed down on Saturday death sentences to two subversive elements and
sentenced ten others to eight to twelve years in prison after they were found
guilty of subversion.
The group was convicted of forming an armed group that was involved in carnage and
subversion in the district of Bani Hushaish, Sana'a.
The Specialized Penal Court in the capital of Sana'a delivered the ruling in the
case of one of subversive groups in the area which fought the troops in support for
the
insurgency.
Northern provinces of Saada and Amran are the hotbeds of the Houthi rebels, who
have been fighting the troops since 2004.
On the other hand, the court has completed investigating eight insurgents, seven
from Saada and one accomplice from the Bani Hushaish district.
The government accuses the group of forming an armed gang that killed troops and
civilians in the north.
In July, Yemen handed down death sentences to ten subversives after they were found
guilty of forming armed gangs and fighting the troops in support for the Houthis.
Others were given jail terms ranging from 5-15 years.
Indictments against the sentenced included that they had weapons which they used to
carry out bombings, fight troops and harm the people's interests.
Many groups known as Bani Hushaish subversive groups, which fought troops in 2008
in support of the Houthi rebellion, have gone on trials.
July verdicts came after several hearings in which more than 140 accused faced
Yemen court on charges related to forming armed groups.
