Security forces affiliated with the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) in Yemen yesterday shut down the judicial compound in the interim capital, Aden, after judges there refused to respond to calls for a general strike,
Anadolu reported.
The agency quoted an unnamed judicial source as saying that STC forces closed the judicial compound in Khor Maksar, near the cabinet's headquarters, and prevented judges and members of the public prosecution from entering it.
