Yemeni National Convicted for Child Pornography in India

Abdullah Ali Abdo Al-Haddad, a Yemeni national, was fined Rs 10,000 and made to sit in a courtroom by a Thiruvananthapuram court for watching child pornography. The police initially found no evidence on spot but later retrieved videos through forensic examination, leading to his conviction.

A Yemeni national, Abdullah Ali Abdo Al-Haddad, was fined Rs 10,000 by a Thiruvananthapuram fast track court on Saturday for watching child pornography.

The court's decision came after a forensic examination revealed evidence on Al-Haddad's mobile phone, despite an initial police search finding nothing suspicious. The recovery of videos prompted the re-registration of the case.

Under the guidance of Judge R Rekha, the court thoroughly examined nine witnesses, 15 documents, and two exhibits to convict the accused, highlighting successful prosecution tactics in handling such sensitive cases.
