Almotamar Net - A source at the Ministry of Interior said it would launch an inquiry into the police attack against two journalists in Sanaa last Saturday. The Ministry stressed that the case was an �isolated incident and does not demonstrate a trend by police officers�.
However, this pledge did not satisfy the Yemeni Journalists Syndicate, which expressed its frustration with the government. The syndicate noted that �despite demands to the Ministry of Interior and the Office of the General Attorney to investigate regular attacks against journalists, no serious measures were taken by the authorities. This in turn, encouraged According to the Ministry of Interior, the investigation will only deal with the �circumstances of the attack� and will not necessarily take any measures against policemen themselves.
