Ruddock condemns Baha’i<br />

Death Sentence in Yemen<br />

Hornsby Shire Mayor Philip Ruddock has joined the local Baha’i community<br />

in expressing outrage over the death sentence of Hamed bin<br />

Haydara in Yemen.<br />

Mr Haydara, who has been detained since<br />

2013, received the death sentence on Tuesday<br />

<strong>January</strong> 2 on charges of disseminating<br />

the beliefs of his faith and spying for Israel.<br />

“I have been approached by members of<br />

the Baha’i community over this matter and<br />

I strongly agree with their concerns,” Mayor<br />

Ruddock said.<br />

“It is appalling to see the religious freedom<br />

of any group challenged in such a fundamental<br />

way.<br />

“I have had close contact with the Baha’i in<br />

Hornsby Shire over many years and they are<br />

a valuable part of our local community.<br />

“I share their anger over this matter and<br />

I join them in voicing my outrage at such a<br />

gross violation of human rights.”<br />
