Islah Party accuses STC of assassinating one of its leaders in Aden,

ADEN, Jul. 01 (YPA) – Head of the Yemeni Islah Party, Mohammed Al-Yadoumi, accused the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) leaders of being behind the assassination of the party’s activist Bilal Mansour Al-Maisari in Aden city.

In a post on “Facebook, Al-Yadoumi denounced the silence of the STC authorities on the assassination of Al-Maisari on Wednesday in Aden.

“We did not hear or see any reaction from the brave security men or the governor of the province, as if the person who was killed and assassinated was not a citizen and the state agencies have no responsibility towards him,” he said.

Al-Yadoumi continued, “This deafening silence raises more than one question mark and an exclamation point. Either the perpetrator is known to them and they fear his conviction, or even just pointing the finger at the murderer, or they acknowledge this type of crime and naturally coexist with it.”

On Wednesday, unknown gunmen assassinated the partisan activist Al-Maisari, who works in the Saba Islamic Bank, in front of his house in Al-Mansoura district, in the center of Aden.

In a previous statement, the Islah party called on the international community, the United Nations, and the Security Council to form an international committee to investigate the crimes of assassination that took place in the city of Aden from 2016 until today, and to prosecute the perpetrators as war criminals.
