Deputy FM denies issuing decision banning women from working

SANAA, Jan. 31 (YPA) – Deputy Foreign Minister Hussein Al-Ezzi denied that any official decision had been issued banning women from practicing work.

In a post on his Facebook page, the Deputy Foreign Minister called for investigating credibility and drawing information from its sources.
