Aden, NewsYemen:

Official documents - obtained by NewsYemen - revealed grave legal violations practiced by Ahmed Al-Muwasai, whose appointment as Public Prosecutor was postponed by a decision of the Administrative Court in Aden, and the Minister of Interior Ibrahim Haidan, in Hadramout Governorate, southeast of Yemen.

One of the documents shows that Al-Musai gave directions to the Minister of Interior Ibrahim Haidan, inciting the latter not to deal with the decisions of the Chief Public Prosecutor in the Hadhramaut Governorate - the Mukalla Appeal - Judge Shaker Mahfouz Binnish.

Meanwhile, another document reveals that Minister Haidan directed the Director-General of Hadhramaut Coast Security to implement what was stated in the "Al-Moussai" memorandum, bypassing the powers of the Chief Public Prosecutor granted to him by the force of law, as well as the judicial ruling to stop the implementation of the decision to appoint "Al-Moussai" as attorney general.

In this context, Judge Shaker Binnish considered the two memoranda issued by Al-Moussai and Wahidan a serious violation of the law, as they withdrew his authority as chief of public prosecution in Hadramout, by a judicial decision of the Supreme Judicial Council.

While Judge "Bennish" confirmed that none of the two sources of the memorandums had the right to take away his authority, and pointed out that Ahmed Al-Musai does not enjoy any legal or judicial legitimacy until the moment in assuming his duties, since the decision to appoint him as a public prosecutor was issued on him by a decision of the Administrative Court of First Instance in Aden  Its implementation is suspended and therefore no party may deal with any decisions or directives issued by it.


In a memorandum obtained by NewsYemen to the Director General of the Security and Police Department in the coast, the head of the Public Prosecution Office in Hadramout Governorate said that “the Minister of Interior should be aware that it is not within his powers to direct not to adopt decisions or orders of the judicial authority, warning that the minister and whoever accredits  His directives are covered by their actions interfering in the affairs of the judiciary and committing the crime of not carrying out orders and judgments issued by the judiciary, which are crimes that do not have a statute of limitations.
