As a global campaign to release journalist Abdulelah Haider Shaye from prison picks up speed, other Yemeni journalists are finding it increasingly hard to do their jobs amid death threats and attempted attacks orchestrated at the hands of a variety of Yemeni factions with different agendas.
Yemeni journalists are facing continued physical and legal jeopardy, with one journalist receiving death threats and two others facing politicized defamation charges.
The latest in a wave of violence against the press in Yemen involved an attack on Al-Jazeera journalists and threats against a Sky News Arabia news crew by anti-government protesters in Aden.
