The Presidium of the Parliament of the Republic of Yemen has on Monday, ruling from its legal and constitutional headquarters in capital Sana’a, condemned “the suspicious moves of the impersonators of the Yemeni parliament in international parliamentary forums.”
The Parliament’s Presidium denounced those moves, the latest of which was the participation of Sultan Al-Barakani and a number of those whose status as parliament member had previously been revoked by the Parliament on charges of high treason, in the meetings of the 13th plenary session of the Asian Parliamentary Assembly, during the period from 8 to 10 January in Antalya, Türkiye.
It considered these moves to be “a blatant exploitation of the suffering of the Yemeni people as a result of the blockade imposed for eight years, and the inability of members of the Yemeni Parliament to attend.”
The Parliament’s Presidium called on the Secretary-General of the Asian Parliamentary Assembly not to deal with impersonators of the Yemeni parliament, and warned against dealing with those suspicious movements of those it referred to as they no longer have any parliamentary, legal or legitimate status in the name of the Republic of Yemen.
The Parliament’s Presidium strongly condemned the attempted justifications given by Al-Barakani, in which he tried to explain his decision to continue acting as a member of parliament.
