Human Rights Commission: Toll of Saudi escalation crimes is 385 martyrs, wounded

The National Human Rights Commission affirmed that the toll of victims of the war crimes and genocide committed by the Saudi enemy and its mercenaries against the Yemeni people, since the beginning of its escalation on the third of September until the evening of Monday, the 12th of October, has reached 385 martyrs and wounded.

The Commission explained in a statement issued by it that the victims of the Saudi enemy’s crimes were distributed across 13 Yemeni governorates, including 107 martyrs and 278 wounded.

It affirmed that the greatest tragedy is that more than 60 percent of the martyrs and wounded are women and children, which proves the Saudi enemy’s deliberate targeting of residential neighborhoods and homes. The total toll of the Saudi enemy’s targeting of the capital Sanaa and various governorates reached two thousand and 177 raids and missile and artillery shelling, affecting infrastructure, civilian facilities, homes, markets, roads, and telecommunications networks.

The statement pointed out that the Commission monitored during the past 24 hours the Saudi enemy’s expansion of its barbaric aggression; by targeting citizens’ homes in Al-Hazm District in Al-Jawf Governorate, its aircraft launching two raids on the inhabited Kamaran Island and a third raid targeting citizens’ property in Al-Qanawis District in Hodeidah Governorate, and a raid on Harf Sufyan District in Amran Governorate.

It explained that the Saudi enemy escalated its criminality in Saada Governorate, by launching a raid on Maran District, and deliberately targeting the telecommunications network in Ghumar District in an organized war crime, followed by another raid on the same district.

It considered the Saudi enemy’s escalation of its criminality and crimes as aggression, a war of genocide, and ethnic cleansing in every sense of the word, in accordance with Articles (6 and 7) of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, stressing that targeting telecommunications networks, hospitals, and schools aims to destroy the components of life.

The Commission demanded that the United Nations and the Security Council assume responsibility and work to stop the criminal Saudi escalation, and refer the leaders of the Saudi enemy to the International Criminal Court as war criminals, considering the world’s silence toward these crimes a disgrace that pursues humanity.
