News - Yemen: The Governor of Sa’adah strongly condemned the killing of seven citizens by Saudi border guards.

Major General Mohammad Jaber Awad confirmed that the Saudi Army continued to commit crimes against citizens in the border areas, the latest of which was the tortured to death of a number of citizens.

The Republican Hospital in Sa’adah received on Thursday the bodies of seven citizens who were tortured to death by the Saudi Army in the Al-Raqo area of the border area.

“Security source in Sa’adah confirmed that the seven victims died after being tortured with electricity,” Almasirah correspondent reported confirming that the death toll is preliminary. 

Awad held the Saudi regime and the United Nations responsible for the crime of torturing and killing citizens with electricity, and previous crimes, stressing that these crimes do not have a statute of limitations.

The Governor of Sa’adah pointed out that this crime exposes the ugly face of the Saudi regime and the US behind it in violating human rights.

Last month, three citizens were killed as a result of the bombing of the Saudi enemy on the border areas of Sa'adah Governorate.

Various areas of the border districts in Sa’adah are  subjected to Saudi missile and artillery shelling, on a daily basis, resulting in heavy material losses.
 
Saudi Arabia, backed by the US and its other regional allies, launched a devastating war on Yemen in March 2015. The seven years and half of war has killed hundreds of thousands of people and destroyed much of the country’s infrastructure. Yemeni people are facing malnutrition, hunger, and famine, which have increased risks of disease and starvation.
 
In light of its defeats on various frontlines and its failure to achieve any of its objectives, the US-Saudi aggression is notorious for its indiscrimination shown by its numerous attacks against densely-populated centers, including markets, hospitals, farms and schools.
