The Court of First Instance in Ma’rib convicted the writer Muhammad Mustafa Al-Omrani because of his article entitled (Fat Al-Dabai, the activist who begs in the name of women and is of color according to interests), in which he presented a set of lies, slander, insults and defamation against the doctor.

Al-Omrani refused from the beginning of the case to submit to the judiciary, despite his claim that he had files against me that he would submit. As soon as I filed a complaint against him to prove his slander, he fled from Ma’rib. After I reconciled with Saif Al-Hadhri, who respected the judiciary and submitted to its procedures, some colleagues tried to contact me to pardon Al-Omrani, and he was I responded by agreeing to write an apology on his page, but he did not do so, and therefore the Marib court had no choice but to issue a ruling against him.

The ruling included punishing him with imprisonment for a period of one year with effect and requiring him to pay special civil compensation.

The ruling is a victory for a public opinion issue related to addressing digital violence and moral lapse in the means of publishing and social communication, which harms many, especially women, by those who violate people’s honor and reputation, their violations of values ​​and morals, as well as their explicit violation of the laws, and those who do not differentiate between freedom of opinion and expression and people’s rights. In reputation and dignity as a human right.

Finally, I say a word from my experience in litigation, and I say it to all those working in justice institutions, that you have a national, moral, and religious responsibility to speed up the litigation procedures and not slow them down, so that you can contribute to reforming society, reducing the crime rate in it, and having a role in the peace process. Through victory for the rights of citizens, because if it is a publishing case like mine that is witnessed far and wide, and the charges in it are clear and do not need interpretation, it will take a year and ten months of litigation, and it only needs one month to decide on it since its evidence is clear and well-known. This is the slowdown that has cost me a lot of effort and money, and if My capabilities and my father’s support helped me cover the costs of litigation and waiting all this time. What will the situation of the poor and oppressed be like in other cases? This means that the slowness of litigation and the lack of speedy resolution is one of the reasons for delaying justice and provides an opportunity for crimes to be repeated and not reduced. Hence, I hope and hope that The judiciary in Yemen contributes its positive role to reforming society. I also call on human rights organizations to contribute to defending against slow litigation procedures, monitoring the implementation of the law in litigation procedures, and working to expedite them.
