Al-jawf: The Joint Meeting Parties (JMP) have issued a strong condemnation of the attack carried out by the Saudi forces on the Al-Hazm Correctional Facility located in Al-Jawf Governorate. This assault led to the death and injury of numerous inmates and visitors, sparking outrage among local and international communities.
According to Yemen News Agency, the JMP's statement highlighted the severity of the attack, describing it as a blatant violation of international humanitarian law. They emphasized that the facility, meant to provide protection and care, should never have been a target. The attack underscores the ongoing suffering of the Yemeni population, who continue to endure hardships due to the ongoing siege and Saudi aggression impacting all societal sectors and institutions.
The Joint Meeting Parties hold the Saudi forces fully accountable for the aftermath of this attack. They asserted that the targeting of civilians, including those in correctional facilities, is indefensible under any justification. This stance is part of a broader call for accountability and justice for all acts of aggression against civilians.
In their appeal, the JMP urged both local and international humanitarian and human rights organizations to take a firm stand against this crime. They stressed the importance of documenting such transgressions to ensure that those responsible for crimes against civilians are held accountable and do not evade justice.
