A Yemeni official source told the Yemen Times that a general amnesty was likely to be issued on the Yemeni Socialist Party's leaders who were convicted with different charges after the 1994 civil war.
The source said the amnesty issued by President Salih after the civil war will apply to 12 of the 16 persons who were tried and prosecuted in absentia.
However the amnesty will not apply to Ali Salim al-Bidh, former vice-president; Haydar al-Attas, former PM; Haytham Qasim Tahir, former minister of defence; and Salih Ubayd Ahmad; who were all sentenced to death on charges of being accountable for the outbreak of the civil war. The other 12 persons who were sentenced to different terms of imprisonment can go back home.
This is a good step on the way bring closure on the civil war and differences between south and north.
