Last week the organization of Women Journalists Without Chains together with the European Commission Delegation organized in Sana'a a symposium to ensure press freedom in Yemen.

For his part, President of the European Commission Delegation, Mikelih Servouna Dorjsu voiced his concern about the new draft media law issued in Yemen lately.
He urged the Yemen's government to complete its commitment in the area of press freedom, considering the flow of information as pivotal role in the development process.
Founder of the Yemeni Observatory for Human Rights, Mohammed Al-Mikhlafi said that the profession of journalism required journalists to be courageous and hard-working.
Others believe that press freedom in Yemen has come under attack as government argues that national security is more important than transparency.
