US embassy cable - 05SANAA1039

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1. (U) Poloff delivered "Supporting Human Rights and 
Democracy: The U.S. Record 2004-2005" to Nasser Arrabyee, 
Special Assistant to the Minister of Human Rights on April 
24.  Arabyee promised to pass the report to Minister Soswa 
and to report back should she have any comments.  Poloff also 
provided an Arabic translation of the Yemen portion of the 
report. 
 
2. (C) During the course of the meeting, Arrabyee confided 
that the ROYG rebuttal to the USG 2004 HRR (Ref B), "was not 
written with the endorsement of this ministry,"  confirming 
post suspicions that the rebuttal was instigated by 
instructions "from above."  Instead, he expressed his 
ministry's appreciation for work that post was doing in 
"raising the awareness" of human rights abuses in Yemen and 
promised "full cooperation" with post with the 2005 HRR.
