Islah Party elements kidnap poet in Marib

MARIB, Jan. 19 (YPA) – Islah Party elements loyal to the coalition kidnapped, on Sunday, a poet in the middle of Marib city and took him to a secret prison.

Human rights sources confirmed that Islah elements kidnapped the poet Rashid al-Hatam al-Qaifi after he celebrated last Friday the announcement of the cessation of the war on Gaza in Marib, in the way he chanted the slogan “Death to America and damnation to the Jews”, because they have gone too far in their crimes against the people of the Gaza Strip.

The sources explained that the leaders of the Islah factions kidnapped Al-Hatam without any legal justification other than celebrating the cessation of the war on Gaza in his own way, angry at the Israeli and American crimes against the Palestinians, and he was taken to one of the secret prisons of foreign intelligence in the city.

They stated that the sheikhs and tribes of Qifa gave the Islah leaders 48 hours, ending this evening, to release their son unconditionally, amidst a state of popular discontent and anger.

Activists on social media wondered, “Has Marib become Tel Aviv, so that the poet Al-Hatam was kidnapped because he cursed the Jews and their crimes for 15 months in Gaza?”
