Journalists denied access to trial of national spies
[11 October 2008]

SANA'A, Oct 11 (Saba) – In a hearing to which journalists and businessmen were denied access, the Specialized Penal Court started on Saturday the trial of three nationals accused of spying for foreign countries.

The state-run 26sep.net reported the three were identified as Abdul Karim Ali Abdul Karim al-Alaji, 33, Hani Ahmed Deen Muhammad, 31, Skandar Abdullah Yousuf Abdu, 57.

They were arrested in Aden and referred to the judicial authorities under charges of spying for foreign states through disclosing information on the national defense systems and documents containing information on the country's political, economic and security conditions.

The authorities claim the men acts harmed Yemen's position.

Now the trial has been adjourned for next Saturday.

In February, the court sentenced two locals to death after they were found guilty of spying for an Arab state.

Hamad Ali Al-Dhahouk and Abdulaziz Al-Hatbani were convicted of spying for Egypt by supplying information to Egyptian diplomats in Sana'a.
