    Yemen executes second child this year

    Al-Akhbar: Chairperson of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child Wednesday expressed ‘deep dismay’ concerning the execution of another child in Yemen.

    “According to the information we have received, Hind Al-Barti was around 15 years old at the time of the offense,” the Chairperson Jean Zermatten said.

    Two children under 18 years of age were executed in 2012, and fourteen juveniles had been executed between 2006 and 2010.

    Twenty-one more children have been convicted and sentenced to death, one of which is 13 years old, according to the UN committee press release.

    “According to the information transmitted to us, Waleed Hussein Haikal and Mohammad Abduh Qasim al-Taweel (both aged 15 at the time of the commission of the offenSe) and Mohammad Taher Samoum in Ibb (aged 13) have had their death sentences confirmed by the Supreme Court,” the chairperson said.

    “We urgently appeal to the Government of Yemen to immediately stop the executions of juvenile offenders and to take effective measures to remove juvenile prisoners from death row.”

    Yemen had assured the committee in 2005 that laws against the death penalty, torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment of children under the age of 18, had been incorporated into the penal code.

    Concepts of childhood belong to the western mind.
    Once puberty is reached age is unimportant.
    Thats why you have 9 year old brides.
    The Ayatollah Khomeini married a 10 year old so it can't be claimed that such practices are long gone.

    Two rapists of 7-year-old Yemeni girl to be executed

    A Yemen court of appeals rejected pleas by two men convicted of raping a seven-year-old local girl and upheld an earlier sentence to execute them.

    The two had confessed to raping Maram Waheeb in the western province of Taizz and were then sentenced to death by a court or first instance.

    “Her mother said she had waited impatiently for this verdict and expressed her delight,” the Saudi Arabic language daily Sada said in a report from Yemen.

    It said a large crowd of activists and other people who were in court chanted for the judge, adding that the two Yemeni men would be executed by a firing squad.

    Yemen court condemns Qaeda suspect to death

    A Sanaa court on Sunday sentenced to death a Yemeni Al-Qaeda suspect for his role in a deadly attack on a security headquarters in Aden in 2011, an official said.

    Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, a franchise of the global jihadist network, is active in Yemen and is seen by the United States as its most dangerous branch.

    The court convicted Ahmad Kadiri Ahmad Turki of belonging to AQAP and setting up the cell that planned and launched the attack in the southern city, the judicial official said.

    The June 2011 attack killed nearly 20 members of the intelligence services in Aden, the terrorism court said.

    The same court handed nine other suspects sentences of between two and 10 years in prison for belonging to Al-Qaeda and attempting to assassinate President Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi.

    The prosecution said the group planted an explosive device in Sanaa with the aim of blowing up Hadi's convoy as it drove past, but the bomb was discovered and defused by security forces.

    The judiciary in Yemen has stepped up trials of Al-Qaeda suspects in recent months, handing 10 alleged members of the network sentences ranging from two to seven years in prison after convicting them in October of taking part in attacks.

    AQAP took advantage of the weakening of the central government in Sanaa during a 2011 uprising, seizing swathes of territory in the south before being driven back in June 2012.

    The group is still active in southern and eastern Yemen, and stages frequent attacks on security forces.

    Yemeni court sentences 4 Saudis to death for beheading soldiers

    A court in the Yemeni capital Sana’a has handed down the death penalty to four Saudi nationals convicted of belonging to the al-Qaeda terrorist group and decapitating 14 Yemeni troops some three years ago.

    According to the Arabic-language al-Masirah television network, the Specialized Criminal Court said that the convicts had been members of the al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) terror group and had beheaded 14 army soldiers of the 135th Brigade following an attack against a state security center in the city of Say'un in Yemen’s Hadhramaut region back in August 2014.

    Judge Mohammad Mofleh further ordered for the Saudi convicts to be executed in public and in the presence of the families of those killed, the report added.

    The AQAP was established through the merger of the Saudi and Yemeni wings of the Takfiri terrorist al-Qaeda organization in 2009, and since then it has been responsible for numerous attacks on Yemeni army personnel, particularly in the period preceding Saudi Arabia’s full-scale war against Yemen in March 2015.

    Since the beginning of the Saudi war on Yemen, which was carried out in an attempt to crush the popular Houthi Ansarullah movement and reinstall the former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh, Saudi warplanes have pounded the nation day and night, killing over 12,000 people, including many women and children, and displacing over three million others.

    The Yemen war has also taken a heavy toll on the country’s facilities and infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, schools, and factories.

    Furthermore, the chaos created by the Saudi war has given an advantage to the AQAP and Daesh Takfiri terrorist group to secure a foothold in the Arab nation.

    The humanitarian situation in Yemen has also dramatically deteriorated amid a Saudi blockade, which has put the impoverished country on the brink of widespread famine.

    In TV spectacle, man convicted of raping and killing toddler executed in Yemen


    While public executions are not new in Yemen, the broadcast of this one, conducted by Houthi rebels who have controlled the capital, was somewhat unusual

    By Shuaib Almosawa and Rick Gladstone
    National Post

    SANAA, Yemen — In a televised execution attended by thousands of Yemenis chanting approval, a man convicted of raping and killing a toddler was placed face down in a public square in Yemen’s capital on Monday and shot with an automatic weapon at point-blank range.

    While public executions are not new in Yemen, the broadcast of this one, conducted by the Houthi rebels who have controlled the capital for more than two years in a calamitous civil war, was somewhat unusual.

    The egregiousness of the offense and public outrage over it may have played a role in the decision to show the execution on TV, as a way of mollifying the victim’s family and portraying the Houthis as vigilant against crime.

    The condemned man, identified by Yemen’s Saba News Agency as Mohammed Saad Mujahid al-Maghrabi, 41, was found guilty by a Houthi-run court of the attack on Rana al-Matan, a 3-year-old girl.

    Court officials, the victim’s family and news agencies were invited to attend, Saba reported. It said a crowd numbering in the thousands had converged around the clearing in Sanaa’s Tahrir Square where the execution was carried out.

    Many spectators held cellphone cameras aloft to record it. Some were perched on telephone poles and rooftops.

    Shamsan Alyafaei, a 23-year-old university student, said he and some other spectators had learned of the execution Sunday from messages on WhatsApp and Facebook. Some people arrived at 7 a.m., more than two hours beforehand, to get a good view, and held banners that read “Justice has won,” and “Rana’s blood won’t be in vain.”

    Alyafaei said there had been talk that the condemned man was mentally unstable. Still, he said of the outcome, “as long as it was based on a judicial verdict, it’s fine.”

    Abdulkareem Ziraei, 32, a news photographer, estimated that 10,000 people were in the square for the execution and that the overwhelming majority had approved. Many yelled “Long live justice!” he said, as the executioner discharged his weapon into al-Maghrabi’s back.

    News photographs showed al-Maghrabi lying on his stomach with hands bound behind him as a uniformed soldier or police officer standing right over him opened fire.

    A Reuters dispatch from Sanaa quoted Yahya al-Matari, the father of the girl, as saying afterward that he felt justice had been served. “This is the first day in my life,” he was quoted as saying. “I am relieved now.”

    The child was killed on June 25, the first day of Eid al-Fitr, a joyous Muslim holiday that signifies the end of the holy month of Ramadan. Yemen, the Middle East’s poorest country, is overwhelmingly Muslim.

    'Beautiful': Safaa al-Matari was
    abducted, raped and murdered
    in al-Rakab, near the Yemeni
    capital Sana'a in November 2015.



    'Justice has been done': Mother's joy as pedophile who raped and murdered her 'beautiful' daughter, 4, is executed by AK-47 and strung up on a crane in Yemen

    The mother of a four-year-old girl who was raped and murdered today told of their joy at the execution by machine gun of their daughter's killer.

    Safaa al-Matari's parents said justice had been done as the little girl's father spoke of his 'happiness' that the murderer had been punished in 'spectacular way'.

    Hussein al-Saket, 25, was shot five times before his body was strung up from a crane in front of a large crowd in the Yemeni capital Sanaa's Tahrir Square for Saffa's abduction, rape and murder.

    Speaking exclusively to MailOnline the girl's mother Amal al-Matari said: 'I am very happy that the killer has been executed.

    'I felt so relieved even after it had taken all this time – one year and eight months ago.

    'I am more than happy and content now that justice has been done.

    'I know my innocent daughter Safaa will now rest in peace and in heaven.'

    Her father Muhamad Taher al-Matari said: 'I am so happy the killer of my daughter has finally been punished in such a spectacular and deterrent way so that he would set an example for all to see.

    He added: 'My tribe, family and I thank all those have have sympathised with us in Yemen whether they are Muslims, Christians or any other religion because attacking innocent children is forbidden by God and all religions.'

    Safaa's mother revealed how heartless al-Saket snatched her 'beautiful' daughter while she was giving birth to her youngest brother in November 2015.
    Amal al-Matari told MailOnline: 'I was giving birth to my youngest son, Saleh, who is now 20 months old when Safaa who was playing outside our house disappeared.

    'We live in a small village with of some 400 people. We are all farmers who know each others and there are a lot of abandoned houses around.

    'I told my husband to go and search for Safaa which he did with a few members of our family.

    'Around 7am he went into the village mosque and told everyone there that our daughter Safaa had disappeared.'

    Ali al-Ayedh, Safaa's uncle, said al-Saket took part in the search for the girl before being unmasked' during the police investigation. He had hidden her body in Bani-Matar province in Sanaa, a crime described as uncommon in Yemeni society.

    The uncle said: 'All our people were cooperative, we were all one family, Safaa's family.

    'This crime was even more shocking because all the men in the village, including the killer and his six brothers, joined us in the search for Safaa.
    'We searched everywhere but when we found a shovel in one of the abandoned houses, the killer and all his brothers suddenly vanished from the search party.

    'We are farmers and all our farming equipment is marked and therefore we could identify that the shovel we found belong to the al-Saket's family.

    'We entered an abandoned house, we found Safaa's body buried on the third floor.'

    The uncle explained that in Yemen many of the houses are made with mud floors and that Safaa had been buried on the third floor.

    Later that night, the killer's cousin handed him to me and I handed him to the nearest police station 10 miles away from our village.'

    Al-Saket's execution is the second such public execution in less than a month, seen as a display of power by the Houthis, the Shiite rebel group that has been in control of the Yemen capital since the 2014 military coup.

    Muhammad al Maghrabi, 41, was shot at point blank range with a machine gun being convicted by a Sharia court in Yemen of raping and strangling three-year-old Rana al-Matari.

    Safaa's father Muhamad said he had contacted Rana's family after seeing al Maghrabi's execution in the same public square last month.

    He said: 'After we watched our daughter's killer' execution we paid the family a visit and offered our condolences.

    'We consider Rana to be our daughter just like Safaa and we consider all the Yemen nation and society to be united in grief and joy that now justice has been done.'

    Mother Amal thanked the public for pressing for the execution.

    She said: 'I have three boys only now Mohamad, 14, Mustafa, 11 and my dear Saleh who is one year and eight months old.

    'We are grateful to all those who have stirred our case again, especially that they had done so after the execution of the killer of the other child last month and had they not done so, our case would have stalled.'

    Pedophiles shot and hanged from crane after boy, 10, is raped and killed

    By Latifa Yedroudj
    Express

    THREE pedophiles were publicly shot and hanged from cranes after the group brutally raped and killed a 10-year-old boy.

    Shocking photos show the men, dressed in blue overalls, handcuffed and surrounded by Yemeni soldiers as crowds watched their public execution take place in city's streets.

    Authorities ordered the rapists to lie down on the floor, pointing a gun to their head, before shooting them five times in the heart.

    The rapists' dead corpses were propped up by in the air by a crane, in Sana'a, Yemen, publicly displayed in front of crowds, serving as a firm warning to anyone who dared commit such crimes.

    Capital punishment in Yemen is legal, and the country has one of the highest execution rates per capita in the world.

    Sharia law is applied in Yemen, and serves as the basis for all legislation in the country.

    Capital crimes include violent acts like murder, rape or terrorism or in cases of "Hudud" offences under Sharia law such as adultery, sexual misconduct, sodomy, prostitution, blasphemy and apostasy.

    Kidnapping, violent robbery, drug trafficking and treason can also possibly carry a death sentence depending on the circumstances.

    Shooting is the only form of execution carried out in Yemen, though stoning, hanging and beheaded are permitted under Yemeni penal code.

    Yemen is also one of the four countries left in the world that allows capital punishment for minors.

    In 2013, Mohammed Haza'a was put to death by the Yemeni government after he shot an intruder at his home in the central Yemeni city of Tiza in 1999.

    The man later died from his injuries.

    Despite judges ruling the killing as self-defense and that Mohammed was under eighteen at the time, the Yemen court eventually sentenced him to death.

    George Abu Al-Zulof, a child protection specialist at UNICEF, described how Yemeni firing squads carry out death penalty procedures.

    He said: "They put them on the ground, they cover them with the blanket and then a doctor comes and points around the heart from the back side. Then they shoot three to four bullets [into] the heart."

    Around 53 countries in the world still practise the death penalty - including Saudi Arabia.

    Yesterday, Saudi Arabia crucified a man who stabbed a woman to death.

    On Wednesday, Elias Abulkalaam Jamaleddeen entered a Myanmar woman’s home with a gun before stabbing her.

    The men was then sentenced to a beheading, supporting by King Salman and Saudi's supreme court.

    He was publicly beheaded and his body was put on display on a cross in Mecca.

    Crucifixions are rare in Saudi, even though the state is one of the world's top executioners

    In 2010, a Yemeni man was crucified after he raped and killed a girl, and then shot her father.

    Last year, the organisation’s Middle East Research Director, Lynn Maalouf said: “The Saudi authorities have been using the death penalty as a tool to crush dissent and rein in minorities with callous disregard for human life”.
