Yemeni Rights Organization Reports Houthi Crimes in Hajour
Yemen's "Rasd Coalition" for Monitoring
Human Rights Violations reported Houthi crimes against civilians in Hajour,
Hajjah Province, according to SABA news agency.
The Executive Director of the Alliance Mutahar
al-Bathaji said that what has been happening for weeks in Hajour requires the
Human Rights Council's attention to apprehend the size of the catastrophe and
danger of the systematic violations against civilians.
He delivered the statement at the Council on the
sidelines of the 40th session being held in Geneva.
"At this moment, Houthis are barbarically
destroying this area, leaving a number of victims among civilians, mainly
women, children and the elderly," he said, according to the Saudi Press
Agency (SPA)
"The militia is besieging the area for banning
civilians' relocation to less dangerous areas, the same scenario the militia
has been applying in Taiz for four years."
He added that the insurgents have not yet taken a
step forward in implementing the Stockholm Agreement struck between Yemen's
legitimate government and the Houthis in December.
Human rights violations have doubled in Yemen
recently as 11,267 people have been killed and 23,759 others wounded, mainly
children and women, Bathaji pointed out.
He further held Houthi militias responsible for
these violations.
