Sana'a: A meeting was held in Sana'a on Saturday, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister for Defense and Security Affairs, Lieutenant General Jalal Al-Ruwaishan, to discuss the organizational and structural situation of the Rehabilitation and Correction Authority, in light of the ongoing merger and structural development process.
According to Yemen News Agency, the meeting featured key figures such as Minister of Justice and Human Rights Judge Mujahid Abdullah, Deputy Minister of Interior Major General Abdulmajid Al-Murtada, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Interior for Civil Services Sector Major General Mohammed Al-Hakim, and Head of the Rehabilitation and Correction Authority Major General Ismail Al-Moayyed.
