Yemeni Journalists’ Syndicate has held the leadership of Yemen’s militia-controlled Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research responsible for any kind of harm or risks caused to YJS’s member Arwa al-Gharaphy and her family.
In a statement released today, YJS reported it had received notice from its member al-Gharaphy indicating that she has exposed to harassment, threats, verbal abuse and unfair dismissal by the acting officials of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research against the backdrop of her union activity, writings and opinions.
Journalists’ Syndicate expressed solidarity with Arwa al-Ghraphy, demanding to stop any harassment against her or attempts to prevent her from exercising rights guaranteed legally and constitutionally.
