Sam’a and Saluw: Sam’a and Saluw districts in Taiz province witnessed on Monday two armed protests to condemn the crimes of torturing the poet Rashid al-Hattam and the young man Majid Mubarak al-Amiri from Qifa until their death in the prisons of the aggression mercenaries in Marib city, and to honor the blood of the martyr President Saleh al-Sammad.
According to Yemen News Agency, in the presence of the director of Sam’a district, Muhammad al-Saghir, the directorate’s tactics officer, Faid Mansour, and a number of social figures, military, and security leaders in the two districts, the participants emphasized that these criminal acts are contrary to the teachings of Islam and express the level of religious, value, moral, and human decadence to which the aggression mercenaries have descended.
Participants at the vigils praised the sacrifices of Martyr Al-Sammad, highlighting his positions and his renaissance project (a hand that builds and a hand that protects). They stressed the importance of continuing to follow the path of the martyrs and maintain steadfastness in the face of the enemy.
A statement issued by the two vigils condemned the crimes committed by the Islah militia against Al-Hattam and Al-Amri, who were reportedly kidnapped and tortured until they died. The statement held the aggression’s mercenaries and their criminal tools fully responsible for these and other crimes committed against innocent people in all provinces and areas of Yemen under their control for nine years.
Furthermore, the statement called on all free and honorable people in Yemen to stand against these crimes, which are described as contrary to nature and alien to the conservative Yemeni society, its customs, traditions, ancestors, and norms.
