“This bloody attack by the Ansar Allah (Houthi) group is further evidence of the need for justice and accountability for their violations against civilians throughout the last five years” Radhya Al-Mutawakel, Mwatana Chairperson said.
We value any solidarity against the war in Yemen and all other wars, and consider it an occasion to redouble efforts and raise awareness against whatsoever kills the human being and lurks on their live, safety, and security.
Mwatana strongly condemns these unlawful rulings. They come as part of a series of practices and abuses against the press and journalists perpetrated by Ansar Allah since it seized control of the Capital Sana’a by force in September 2014.
Yemen cannot wait any longer for an end to the conflict and humanitarian devastation that has ravaged the civilian population for over five years.
We currently only have 10 healthcare workers per 10,000 people instead of the standard 22. If one medical worker is arrested, injured or killed that has a huge knock-on effect.
In every round of negotiations between the parties to the conflict in Yemen, families wish the interlocutors will make progress on the case of prisoners' and detainees' exchange, and their sons will be in the forefront of the first batches.
For Yemenis, five difficult years have passed since Ansar Allah armed group (the Houthis) extended their control over the capital Sana’a in 2014 and the following intervention by the Coalition in support of the internationally recognized government of Yemen in 2015.
We express grave concern over the situation of detainees and prisoners across MENA region. While certain states in the region have taken some positive steps to protect the general population, the prison population remains particularly vulnerable.
Scores of indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks carried out by the Saudi/UAE-led military coalition have killed and wounded thousands of civilians since 2015.
The database’s release demonstrates the commitment of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) to upholding human rights standards and the rule of law in pursuit of justice and accountability for oppressed persons, groups and peoples around the world, while reaffirming OHCHR’s independence and impartiality in the face of undue political pressure.
