Taiz:The National Human Rights Commission has issued a condemnation against Saudi warplanes for their aggressive attack on the Al-Sahha Pass-Karbah road, a critical route connecting the provinces of Taiz and Lahj.
According to Yemen News Agency, the commission's statement highlighted that the targeted road serves as a significant civilian passageway utilized daily by hundreds of citizens, travelers, and vehicles carrying essential food and medical supplies. The attack resulted in injuries to two civilians, instilled fear among local residents, and disrupted a vital connection between the two governorates.
The commission described the attack as a deliberate act constituting a fully-fledged war crime, in violation of international humanitarian law, the Geneva Conventions, and principles of distinction, proportionality, and military necessity. It further characterized the incident as a crime against humanity, contributing to what it referred to as a record of systematic crimes against the Yemeni populace.
The statement emphasized that targeting civilians and infrastructure is a crime without a statute of limitations, with full criminal accountability lying upon those responsible. It rejected Saudi claims justifying the attack, asserting that the targeted location was purely civilian with no military installations. The commission criticized the international and UN silence on such incidents, calling for the United Nations, the Human Rights Council, and human rights organizations to condemn and document the attack as part of aggression crimes.
Furthermore, the commission urged media outlets to unveil the attack and counter Saudi media disinformation, advocating for global awareness of the victims' plight. It held Saudi Arabia accountable for the safety of the injured civilians and affirmed that the Yemeni people remain resolute in their pursuit of justice and sovereignty.
