TWO PERSONS GET JAIL TERM FOR ' THREATENING UNITY'

SANA'A, March 30 (Saba)-Sana'a Penal court sentenced on Tuesday two
persons on Tuesday from three to five years in jail for working
against national unity.

In the hearing, the court sentenced Fadi BaAom five years in prison
and three years against Hussein al-Aqil in charge of committing acts
that target unity of the nation and public peace.

On Sunday, the court also sentenced the Yemeni former ambassador to
Mauritania Qasim Asker to five years in jail after convicting him of
threatening the national unity.

In June 2009, Asker, 58, was charged with committing criminal acts
harming the national unity including violating the constitution,
spreading the culture of hatred among the people, inciting a
rebellion, and organizing unauthorized rallies, and spreading
misinformation aimed at disturbing the public security.
