Sanaa warns Washington, London against interfering in Yemeni Judiciary after criticism of ‘spy cell’ verdicts

SANAA, Nov. 28 (YPA) – The Sanaa government on Thursday warned both Washington and London against overreaching or interfering in the “independent” Yemeni judiciary, following American and British criticism of recent court rulings against “spy cells.”

The warning came in a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry in Sanaa, reported by the Sanaa-based official “Saba News Agency.” The statement affirmed its rejection of interference by the United States, its follower Britain, and others, emphasizing that the Yemeni judiciary carries out its duties with complete independence in accordance with the constitution and effective laws.

The statement considered any attempt to question the court rulings as “blatant and unacceptable interference” in Yemen’s internal affairs and an infringement on the independence of a key state authority.

The Sanaa Foreign Ministry also reiterated that “Washington’s criticism of the judicial rulings proves its involvement in espionage activities against Yemen and its attempt to protect the tools it used for this purpose.”
