Hodeida:Two rallies were held in Al-Zaydiyah district of Hodeida governorate on Monday to mark the anniversary of the Saudi-American-led aggression's airstrike on the district's security headquarters and prison. This tragic event resulted in the death of 70 detainees and wounded 50 others. The rallies also served to condemn the ongoing attacks against the Yemeni people.
According to Yemen News Agency, the first rally was organized by the district's Security Department, while the second was organized by the Court and Public Prosecution. These events were held to denounce the ongoing attacks on civilians, including the recent targeting of Al-Hadara market in Al-Wazi'iyah District, Taiz Governorate, and Al-Shariyah village in Bani Hushaish district of Sana'a governorate.
The events were attended by District Security Director Colonel Zain al-Abidin al-Amiri, Head of Al-Zaydiyah Court Judge Ammar al-Mahan, Prosecutor Judge Amer al-Hakim, and several judges, security officials, and personnel. Participants emphasized that the massacre at Al-Zaydiyah prison remains a significant blemish on the reputation of the aggression forces and the international community, which they accused of being complicit and silent on such violations.
Speakers at the rallies declared that the continuous targeting of civilians and public infrastructure amounts to war crimes. They affirmed that despite the passage of time, these crimes would not be forgotten, nor would they deter the Yemeni people from continuing their resistance until victory and justice are achieved.
A joint statement released by the two rallies condemned the ongoing crimes and bloodshed, describing the massacres in Bani Hushaish, Al-Hadara market, and other areas as systematic attacks carried out under American and Western cover, violating international laws and humanitarian conventions. The statement urged the people and tribes of Hodeida governorate and across Yemen to stay mobilized, provide personnel and resources to support the front lines, and intensify efforts against the forces of aggression. It reaffirmed the participants' commitment to follow in the footsteps of the martyrs until the invaders are defeated and the entire national territory is liberated.
