The law states that everyone should pay 20 percent of whatever goods they have or obtain, on land or sea, to the Houthis for being 鈥淏ani Hashim.鈥�
鈥淚ran鈥檚 mercenaries did not just rob the treasury, cash reserves and general revenues, but have also imposed racist laws to continue stealing the nation鈥檚 resources and citizens鈥� wealth,鈥� Al-Iryani said.
鈥淭he militants are imposing such laws without popular support or a legal ground to exist鈥� what would they do if they ruled Yemen?鈥� he added.
