YEMEN: JMP CALLS FOR OVERTURNING OF OPPOSITIONISTS' DEATH SENTENCES

in Yemen, the Supreme Council of the Joint Meeting Parties called on human rights organisations to stand against the unfair death sentences of three of Islah's representatives. Khalid Nahshal, Mabkhoot Nahshal and Abdu Nahshal were sentenced to death for killing an officer and a soldier during the presidential and local council elections in 2006. JMP said that the sentences were politically motivated.
