SANAA, Yemen, July 10 (NNN-SABA) – A court in the Yemeni rebel-held capital, Sanaa, on Tuesday, sentenced 30 people to death, on charges of allegedly spying for the Saudi-led coalition, a judicial source said.
The men, mainly academics, professors and students, are members of the Islah Party, the Muslim Brotherhood group in Yemen.
They were arrested during a Houthi security campaign in 2016.
The verdicts against the men can be appealed, the official said, on condition of anonymity.
Amnesty International condemned the trial as a “mockery of justice,” and urged the Houthis to immediately release the 30 men.– NNN-SABA
