Women Journalists Without Chains (WJWC) has expressed deep sadness and regret over the death of the writer and journalist Mohammed Al Absi who passed away on Tuesday evening in the capital of Yemen, Sanaa, and mystery still surrounds his untimely demise.
According to preliminary information, the deceased was having dinner with his cousin Jihad in a restaurant in the capital Sana’a on 20 December. Only hours later after returning to home, they felt unwell and were immediately driven to a near hospital where he died, while his fellow is still in intensive care unit.
In this regard, WJWC stresses on the need for an independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of the journalist, and for an autopsy by a trusted forensic pathologist nominated by the Yemeni Journalists Syndicate, providing that the results are publicly revealed.
The Organization of WJWC regards the death of Yemen’s only investigative journalist and the outstanding freelance writer as a terrible loss to the journalist milieu and to the community's efforts in the fight against corruption, as he was known for devoting his career to revealing corruption cases and corrupt people.
Women Journalists Without Chains extends sincere condolences to the family of the journalist Mohammed Al Absi, all his colleagues and loved ones on this painful tragedy, praying to Allah Almighty to bestow His mercy upon him and grant his family and loved ones patience and fortitude.
We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return.
