Yemen’s Baha’i community faces problems
By Amel Al-Ariqi
Human right activist and lawyer Khaled Al-Anesi, who represents the arrested Baha'i practitioners, said that the Yemeni security has not yet accused any of them of anything and that this renders their jailing illegal. It is forbidden in Yemeni law to hold prisoners without charges, though it is regularly practiced in the country regardless of this law. “The lawyers are not even allowed to meet with the four prisoners or study their files to know the accusations [against them],” said Al-Anesi.
