Ministry of Legal Affairs and Human Rights Expresses Grave Concern Over Houthi Executions
The Ministry of Legal Affairs and Human Rights has voiced serious concerns regarding the Houthi militia’s announcement on Saturday to execute three citizens from Al-Mahwit Governorate. The individuals targeted for execution are Ismail Abu Al-Ghaith, Saghir Farah, and Abdulaziz Al-Aqeeli. This decision follows what the ministry describes as politically motivated trials and coerced confessions obtained through ongoing brutal torture.
Recent Developments in Prisoner Exchange Talks
In a statement released by the ministry, officials highlighted that this alarming announcement comes on the heels of recent discussions in Muscat, Oman. These talks involved a committee focused on exchanging prisoners and hostages, which many viewed as a hopeful step toward a comprehensive release agreement. However, the ministry criticized the militia’s decision as a return to their habitual tactics of evasion and manipulation, undermining previously reached agreements.
Condemnation of Inhumane Practices
The ministry condemned the militia’s actions, labeling them as reckless threats to innocent lives. They urged the United Nations envoy to take swift action to halt such violations and crimes, which have far-reaching consequences. The statement emphasized the urgent need for effective pressure to stop the militia’s ongoing kidnappings, enforced disappearances, torture, and illegal trials. These actions reflect a broader strategy of intimidation and terror employed by the group.
Conclusion
The Ministry of Legal Affairs and Human Rights remains committed to advocating for the protection of human rights and the cessation of violence against civilians. As the situation unfolds, the international community is urged to remain vigilant and responsive to these grave human rights violations.
