Sana'a - Saba:
A training course began on Saturday at the Office of the Attorney General, aimed at providing 145 prosecutors from the second batch of the "Diploma in Criminal Sciences" program with practical skills in investigation procedures.
The five-day course, organized by the Training and Qualification Department of the Attorney General’s Office, was inaugurated by Attorney General Judge Abdul Salam Al-Houthi, who emphasized its importance in equipping new prosecutors with the necessary skills to perform their duties efficiently, uphold justice, protect rights, and reinforce the rule of law.
He stressed the need to adhere to legal deadlines for case resolution and to utilize all lawful means to gather evidence. He pointed out that many cases, particularly extortion crimes, require meticulousness, skill, and prompt investigative procedures to substantiate and refer them to courts.
The Attorney General also urged prosecutors to avoid excessive detention measures in minor cases where guarantees could suffice.
He highlighted that prosecutorial work demands a deep understanding of the law, precise assessment of facts, and advanced practical skills to manage investigations effectively and make sound, evidence-based decisions.
For his part, First Attorney General Judge Abdulkarim Al-Shami called on prosecutors to actively engage in the course, emphasizing that criminal sciences are vast and require continuous learning.
He noted effective methods for task completion and achieving the highest levels of professionalism and justice, underscoring that prosecutorial responsibilities demand top-tier legal qualification, professional integrity, and a thorough grasp of investigative skills to interact properly with case parties and make timely decisions.
Meanwhile, Head of the Technical Office at the Attorney General’s Office, Judge Ahmed Al-Jundabi, discussed the significance of investigative procedures and the Public Prosecution’s ongoing efforts to enhance the professional competence of its members in line with justice requirements.
He explained that investigation is not merely a legal procedure but a meticulous process requiring high skill, accuracy, and impartiality. Prosecutors, as custodians of criminal cases, bear the responsibility of uncovering the truth without bias, free from pressures or external influences, guided by evidence, law, and professional conscience.
In turn, Dr. Khaled Al-Jamrah, Head of the Training and Qualification Department, affirmed the department’s commitment to capacity-building, stating that competent human resources are key to success. He noted that development begins with education, training, and skill enhancement.
He explained that this course is part of a series of training programs designed to strengthen practical understanding of investigative procedures, improve handling of physical , digital evidence, and enhance prosecutors’ efficiency in drafting investigation decisions aligned with justice requirements. The course also links theory with practice, discusses real-world experiences, and exchanges insights to improve investigation quality and serve justice.
Dr. Al-Jamrah praised the Attorney General’s support for training and qualification, stressing that this course is a valuable opportunity for those seeking to improve their performance and learn best practices in criminal investigation.
