YMU condemns closure of Yemen Press Agency

SANAA, March. 10 (YPA) – Yemeni Media Union (YMU) strongly condemned the closure of Yemen Press Agency website  by German company hosting its server due to the pressures of Saudi-led coalition authorities.

In a statement obtained by Yemen Press Agency, the Union expressed its solidarity with the agency and its cadres, saying that the closure of the Yemen Press Agency website is an arbitrary and irresponsible measure done by the German host company in bid to shut down Yemen’s voices.

The statement called for lifting the ban on the website of Yemen Press Agency (YPA) and respect the freedom of speech and opinion which is guaranteed in the democratic and advanced countries.
