Yemen’s Presidential Council Removes STC Leader Over Treason Claims

(MENAFN) On Wednesday, Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council announced the dismissal of Aidarous al-Zubaidi, head of the Southern Transitional Council (STC), from its ranks on charges of high treason.

"The Presidential Leadership Council issued a decision today, Wednesday, to drop the membership of Aidarous al-Zubaidi in the council for committing high treason and to refer him to the Prosecutor General," read the decree signed by Council Chairman Rashad al-Alimi.

The statement noted that the nation’s attorney general will initiate an inquiry into the accusations.

Additionally, the council confirmed the removal of Transport Minister Abdul Salam Humaid and Planning and International Cooperation Minister Waed Badhib, both of whom were also referred for investigation.

In its declaration, the council ordered the pursuit and detention of individuals linked to the distribution of weapons and activities endangering civil peace.

“Those responsible would be brought to justice,” the statement affirmed, stressing that authorities would “deal firmly with any violations in a manner that ensures respect for the rule of law and the protection of public rights and freedoms.”

It further emphasized that “the unity of military and security decision-making and respect for the chain of command are non-negotiable pillars,” warning that any grave breach of these responsibilities would lead to accountability under the constitution and the law.
