Sana'a – Saba:
The Ministry of Justice and Human Rights condemned in the strongest terms the ongoing crimes committed by US aggression against civilians, facilities, and civilian infrastructure in Yemen.
In a statement obtained by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the ministry denounced the latest US airstrikes targeting a UN-supervised shelter housing African migrants in Saada Governorate, which resulted in over 200 migrant casualties.
The ministry described these crimes as cowardly acts that violate all divine laws, international conventions, and moral/humanitarian principles, adding to the US's black record of targeting civilians under false pretexts.
It emphasized that such crimes are not isolated, citing previous US attacks in Sana'a, Hodeidah, and Saada that killed/injured 1,313 civilians and caused widespread infrastructure destruction—a blatant violation of international humanitarian law.
The ministry affirmed these as war crimes and crimes against humanity requiring urgent international accountability, calling on the UN and global community to:
1. End their silence and take concrete action to halt US violations
2. Impose political/legal pressure on the US government and allies
3. Ensure compliance with international law
It reiterated Yemen's legitimate right to defend its sovereignty and citizens under the UN Charter, stressing that targeting civilians constitutes an imprescriptible crime.
