Moshe Ya'ish Al-Nahari - Court Case - Appeal and Death Sentence

Appeal and Death Sentence

The family of the victim decided to appeal the verdict to demand that the death penalty be implemented against the convicted. The prosecuting lawyer, Khaled al-Ansi, said, ”The verdict is a big scandal” and “The trial was not fair, and was not secure, the Judge was afraid. The verdict will lead to the emigration of the remaining Jews from Yemen.” The rabbi of the Jewish community in Amran, Yahya Yaeish, said “The verdict will encourage more killings of Jews.”

On June 21, 2009, the appeals court sentenced al-Abdi to death. His lawyers responded that they would take the case to the country's Supreme Court.

In April 2011, it was reported that al-Abdi bribed prison guards and had escaped from prison with ten other inmates.

Famous quotes containing the words appeal, death and/or sentence:

    [The Republican Party] consists of those who, believing in the doctrine that mankind are capable of governing themselves and hating hereditary power as an insult to the reason and an outrage to the rights of men, are naturally offended at every public measure that does not appeal to the understanding and to the general interest of the community.
    James Madison (1751–1836)

    The whole earth, perpetually steeped in blood, is nothing but an immense altar on which every living thing must be sacrificed without end, without restraint, without respite until the consummation of the world, the extinction of evil, the death of death.
    Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)

    The hungry judges soon the sentence sign,
    And wretches hang that jurymen may dine.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
