News - Yemen: The Human Rights Office in Taiz Governorate condemned the crimes of kidnapping and assassination committed by the mercenaries of the US-Saudi aggression against citizens in the city, the latest of which was circulated on social media regarding the kidnapping and torture of a citizen.

The Office stated in a statement that the armed gangs belonging to the mercenaries in the Al-Misrakh district in Taiz kidnapped the citizen Abdulbaqi Mohammed, tied him to a tree, and brutally assaulted him in a manner that contradicts principles, values, and ethics. It represents a violation of human dignity.

It emphasized that this crime comes in the context of the repeated crimes committed by the mercenaries against civilians and reveals a state of criminality and security breakdown in areas under the control of the US-Saudi aggression.

The Human Rights Office called on the media, international and local organizations to monitor and document this crime and work on following up on the fate of the kidnapped person, releasing him, and pursuing the perpetrators of this crime.

Taiz and other occupied provinces suffer from a state of security chaos and have become a scene of murders, kidnappings and torture of civilians. Violations and crimes are exacerbated in the areas under the control of the US-Saudi aggression and mercenaries, with the complicity of the security authorities there, which have reached the point of deliberately targeting civilians with killing and threats.

What is happening in occupied provinces are war crimes and flagrant violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law. However, human rights organizations do not move a finger about these violations.
