Saudi-led coalition detains 12 Yemeni fishermen

SANAA, Dec. 2 (YPA) -The Red Sea Fisheries Authority condemned the coalition’s detention of five boats with 12 fishermen on board from the Bahis Island in Yemen’s northwestern province of Hajjah.
The authority said in a statement issued on Tuesday that the coalition insists on preventing fishermen from practicing their profession and earning their day’s livelihood
This act is part of the sordid plans it is carrying out to kneel and subdue the Yemeni people, the statement read.

The statement pointed out that the violation, targeting, siege and starvation of civilians by the coalition since the beginning of the aggression against Yemen is a flagrant violation of all international norms and laws.

The statement condemned the shameful silence of the United Nations over the crimes of genocide committed by the coalition countries against the Yemenis

The statement blamed the coalition countries for the consequences of these violations against the fishermen by preventing them of their sole source of income and the humanitarian catastrophe that will be inflicted on them.

The statement called on the international community, the Security Council and humanitarian and human rights organizations to act urgently to stop piracy of the Saudi-led coalition vessels against fishermen in the Red Sea.
