Sanaa, News Yemen:
The Houthi militia continues tampering with state institutions and destroying its constitutional and legal structures, and harnessing them to achieve goals with sectarian, sectarian and splitting dimensions, in a systematic context to undermine the concept of the Yemeni state and its legal and administrative systems.
On Saturday, February 13, 2021, the Houthi militia - the Iranian arm in Yemen - issued what it claimed was a law “amending some articles of Law No. (40) regarding pleadings,” in light of disagreements between multiple parties in the militia’s ranks over the revenues of the judiciary in their areas of control. .
The Houthi decree included amendments to 19 articles, deleting 3 articles, and adding a new article to the articles of the law targeted by the tampering of the Houthi militia in the organs of the judiciary.
Judges and lawyers considered that the (illegal) Houthi amendments affect national unity and tamper with the form of the state and divide its administrative structures by changing the form of litigation from two degrees to one degree.
They also pointed out that the Houthi unconstitutional amendments violate the rights of litigants and prolong litigation procedures in an unprecedented manner.
In a comment to him on (Facebook), Judge Ahmed Al-Khibi described the hypothetical Houthi amendments, that these amendments were: "proposed by those who do not understand and approved by those who are not aware and whoever realizes their disaster wants to apply them."
For his part, Abdullah Sultan Shaddad said, in a similar publication, that the issuance of a new legal text “would prevent the judge from seizing the case for judgment except after the secretary completes the collection of the case file in it that infringes upon the judge’s right, and interferes with his judicial work, and it limits his wide jurisdiction in Take appropriate decisions for each issue. "
Lawyer Akram Al-Radmani sarcastically commented: "From now on, and according to the new amendments to the law, the appropriate time will be decided to reserve the case for judgment by the secretariat when it is finished writing the outcome of the dispute, and not at the time the judge deems appropriate, Dilami and the amendments."
At the end of last January, the Judges Club in Sana'a rejected what it described as (the arbitrary measures and decisions issued against judges by the Supreme Judicial Council, or the bodies that interfere in justice affairs, whether with regard to preventing them from their legal right to write papers, or amendments that detract from Of their legitimate rights).
The Judges Club refers to the name of the “justice system,” a new body headed by the group’s leader, Muhammad Ali al-Houthi, which recently banned judges from writing property editors and imposed trustees loyal to the group as a substitute for them.
