Sanaa TV’s correspondent arrested in Marib

The Yemeni Journalists Syndicate has reported that it has been informed by Sana’a TV’s correspondent in government-held province of Marib, Yasser Dabr, that he was arrested by gunmen belonging to the province’s security authorities at 6:30 pm on Saturday 26/3/2017 from an internet cafe and placed in a cell full of garbage for suspicion.

Yemeni Journalists Syndicate(YJS) has denounced actions it described as "illegal" and called upon the security authorities in Marib to investigate the incident and punish the perpetrators.

The YJS has also expressed its displeasure at repetitive harassment against journalists in the province and called for an end to these practices, which violate freedom of opinion and expression.
