U.S. Journalist Deported from Yemen

HeadlineMay 09, 2014

A U.S. journalist who has reported from Yemen for the past three years has been deported from the country. Adam Baron, who writes for McClatchy and The Christian Science Monitor, was deported a day after the United States temporarily closed its embassy in Sana’a over security fears. Iona Craig, who writes for The Times of London, tweeted Thursday, “There’s only one foreign journalist officially left in #Yemen. That’s me. Just waiting for the soldiers to come knocking.” Craig said while other journalists may be in Yemen, she and Baron were the only ones with official journalist visas.
