Yemeni Journalists Syndicate (YJS) reported it had been informed by the colleagues in the news website "Al Madena Now” that their site has been penetrated and hacked into by unknowns who also resorted to hiding the site’s archive.
The IFJ’s Yemeni affiliate has condemned the hacking of the news site’s databases, regarding it as an offense added to the long list of press offenses against the electronic media in Yemen. It also renewed its rejection to all attempts to silence the word and crack down on freedom of expression.
