Almotamar.net - A source at the cabinet expressed Monday astonishment regarding calls of representatives of some newspapers and civil organisations for staging sit-in in front of the cabinet building on Tuesday especially the agreement that included suspension of SMS services until issuing a law regulating it.

The source made it clear to almotamar.net the agreement reached yesterday between the prime minister Dr Ali Mohammed Mujawar and representatives for the newspapers and organisations of Al-Ishtiraki, Al-Shoura, Annas and Without Restraints on not to stage a sit-in again in the wake of the premier's directives of suspending all SMS services until issuing a law regulating this service except for the Yemeni news agency and September.net as they are registered with the Information ministry.

Government authorities in Yemen complained of some websites and organisations taking advantage of the absence of a law regulating the process of transmitting short messages especially after sending messages bearing purposes having nothing to do with professionalism.

The source repeated his astonishment of the denial of representatives of newspapers and organisations of the agreement during the meeting with the premier and attended by the ministers of information and communications Hasan al-Lawzi and Kamal al-Jabri, deeming their back off and the call for a sit-in as meeting pure political desires and motivated by partisan impetuses.
