Taiz/Private: SAVE THE CHILDREN
The Human Rights Information and Training Center (Hritc), called for quickly revealing the details of the killing of Hisham Abdulaziz Hamoud Al-Hakimi, an employee of Save the Children International in Yemen.
The center said in a statement today that revealing the details of the truth and punishing the perpetrators of the murder of an employee in a humanitarian organization is the least that can be done by the authorities controlling the institutions in Sana’a.
The so-called intelligence service affiliated with the Houthis in Sanaa had arrested Hisham Abdulaziz Al-Hakimi on September 9, 2023, for fifty-five days without anyone close to the deceased, his family, and his work comrades knowing the circumstances of his disappearance and the torture he was being subjected to, until the Houthi leadership later informed his family of receiving his body.
According to human rights sources in Sanaa, they said that Hisham was subjected to severe torture by the Houthi intelligence services, and these agencies did not allow communication with him. At the same time, he forcibly disappeared until the brutal torture process led to his death.
The Houthi group is carrying out a widespread terror operation against the families of the victims and human rights activists so that the ongoing liquidation files are not followed up in the group’s intelligence services.
The center said that what happened to international employee Hisham Al-Hakimi is a crime against humanity, and the international community, and before them all Yemenis, must stand up to it seriously and follow up on the perpetrators of this crime, which was not an individual act or a passing individual incident, but rather is part of the approach followed by the armed group in Sanaa, which It practices a systematic violation of human rights against various activists, media professionals, and employees of humanitarian and human rights organizations.
