A criminal law professor at Sana'a University has filed a lawsuit against the constitutionality of article 293 of the procedure law No 41 for 2002 that entitles President Saleh after the approval of the Supreme Judicial Council to ask the Supreme Court to reconsider rulings.
Professor Hassan Mujali, the lawyer who pleaded against the constitutionality of sales tax, said the article disagrees with the constitution articles No 2,3,4,6,24,25, 25, 41, 49,51,79,105,110,123,128,137,,149,150,152,152, and is not in accordance with the provisions of the articles 7, 8 , 10 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
He said the article also disagrees with the section 6 of the article 6 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the article 14 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the article 10 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights over a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal in determination of one's rights and obligations.
The Supreme Court accepted the lawsuit on 13 April 2010 and committed the Legal Affairs Ministry to reply, but until this moment, the ministry has not taken action, he said.
The first-of-its kind lawsuit was filed against the president and Parliament Speaker because of their infringement on the powers of the Judicial Authority and non-respect of the principle of separation of powers according to the constitution, he said.
Moreover, he said the article is unconstitutional and is only practiced in Yemen.
