Abdullah Hussein al-Badi was reportedly executed for murder.

Abdullah Hussein al-Badi was reportedly executed for murder. Abdullah Hussein al-Badi and his sister Fatima Hussein al-Badi were arrested on 13 July 2000 for the murder of her husband, Hamoud Ali al-Jalal, and were sentenced to death on 17 February 2001. During their trial, they reportedly had no legal representation, and were forced to be quiet whenever they tried to speak in court. Both Fatima and her brother took their case to the Court of Appeal, which upheld the sentence against them on 12 August 2002. They then appealed to the Supreme Court, which upheld the decision. President 'Ali 'Abdullah Saleh then ratified the two death sentences.
In October 2005, Fatima Hussein al-Badi lodged a special personal appeal with the President, asking him to commute her sentence on the basis that her trial was unfair. The President is believed to be considering the appeal. If he rejects it, Fatima Hussein al-Badi could be executed within a few weeks.
According to Fatima Hussein al-Badi's lawyer, she has maintained her innocence of the murder of her husband since her arrest. She was reportedly tortured by police in detention, but refused to "confess". According to reports, her brother denied that he and his sister were involved in the murder, but later "confessed" to police after he was assured that his "confession" would lead to Fatima's release.
