SANAA (Debriefer)--The specialised criminal court in Yemen's Houthi-held capital Sanaa on Saturday held a new trial for 24 members of the Baha'i minority.
Representatives for human rights and a lawyer for the accused attended the hearing.
The lawyer rejected the arrangements for the hearing before getting a reply from the prosecution to a note he submitted in the previous hearing.
The court then gave the prosecution until February 13 to reply to the note.
The lawyer is demanding to drop all charges against the defendants, return all their properties, and recognise their religious and legal rights as well as the return of the exiled Baha'is.
Trying the Baha'is and sentencing some to death by the Houthi judiciary have sparked wide local and international condemnation.
