Yemen: Ahmed Bamuallim sentenced to 10 years imprisonment

Alkarama has just received news that Ahmed Bamuallim, former MP and a political opposition figure in Yemen, was sentenced on 23 March 2010 to ten years imprisonment by the Specialized State Security Court on charges of violating national unity.

On 5 March 2010, Alkarama had called for the intervention of the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD), in protest of his continued detention without trial since 19 April 2009, most likely for political reasons.
