According to lawyer Ahmad Al-Wadei...

according to lawyer Ahmad Al-Wadei, "cases of execution that contravene Islamic Sharia law number up to 315; these executions were committed under just four separate Yemeni laws: 120 of those execution cases are contained in the Penal Law of 1994, as many as 166 cases in the Military Penal Law, 33 cases in the Anti-Drug Law, and 90 cases in the Anti-Kidnapping and Highway Robbery Law." Presenting a paper on "Death Sentence in Yemeni Legislation" at a symposium in Sana'a in 2008, Al-Wadei argued that Yemeni legislators deliberated to leave the 'death sentence part' in the Penal Law unlimited by using ambiguous and unspecific statements. Al-Wadei maintained that Article 128 of the Penal Law stipulates passing the death sentence on any individual working for a foreign state hurts the political status of the Republic of Yemen. The law doesn't specify what type, form, or kind of work for a foreign state this would include. "Working for a foreign state is an unspecific statement with numerous interpretations, and its assessment is left to the relevant judge," the lawyer clarified.
