Ali Abdullah Saleh President has said to be willing to hold parliamentary elections this year, were planned for 2013 - in an attempt to appease critics after saying Tuesday it would not power before 2012 and provided he approve his release. Political tension has risen today after Yemeni opposition said it is against giving valid the vote in Parliament to impose a state of emergency.
This law is enforced over the next 30 days, in response to the popular uprising against the regime, as reported by Abdel Razaq Al Hejran member of the Islamist Al-Islah party. Emergency Law suspends the constitution, bans protests, authorizing the security forces carry out arbitrary arrests and allowed to censor the press.
At Hejran has complained that the vote was "an outright fraud," saying that no quorum was reached as they were 133 deputies who voted in favor of a total of 301 who attended the meeting. However, specific statutory figures of 162 votes cast for the state of emergency in Yemen, declared last Friday by President Saleh on the 164 deputies who attended the vote in a chamber consisting of 301 MPs.
All members of the parliamentary opposition, independents and members of the General People's Congress of President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who had resigned in response to the repression of the past few weeks, boycotted the session. After 32 years in power, Saleh has faced in the last month to widespread protests calling for his resignation.
In addition, Army generals defected and pledged to support the opposition protesters, among other officials who have turned their backs in protest at the violence used by security forces to break up protests that left dozens dead. Journalists and activists were also persecuted and arrested by the authorities in recent weeks.
