Another horrific war crime committed by Saudi Arabia in Yemen. On Sunday, Saudi warplanes pounded a detention center in the southwestern province of Dhamar, some 100 kilometers away from the capital Sana’a.
Scores were killed in the attack while many more sustained injuries. At a press conference, Yemen's National Committee for Prisoners Affairs condemned the attack.
Yemeni officials say the detention center was used to keep the prisoners of war who fought alongside the aggressors or conspired in favor of them. The detention centre reportedly housed 170 prisoners.
It is not the first time that the Saudi-led coalition has targeted those who fought under its command.
Just days earlier, Emirati warplanes carried out attacks against positions of Saudi-backed forces in Aden, in a move which indicated a deepening rift in the coalition. Yemen’s Ansarullah movement has slammed the attack, calling it a massacre and horrible crime.
Yemenis say indiscriminate Saudi airstrikes show the brutality and criminality of Saudi Arabia and its allies in their war against the Yemeni people; A war which has killed nearly 16-thousand people, mostly civilians, so far.
