Investigations reveal “Hani Ben Brik’s involvement in assassination of Sheikh “al-Rawi”, 30 others in Aden

ADEN, July 20 (YPA) – Officials loyal to the exiled Hadi in southern port City of Aden have reportedly charged ” Sheikh Hani Ben Brik”, a strongman backed by the United Arab Emirates with orchestrating the assassination of more than 30 religious scholars and political figures in the region.

The prosecution in Aden has leveled charges of involvement in the murder and planning the assassinations of 30 Yemeni preachers and politicians against vice president of the so-called Southern Transitional Council, Sheikh Hani Ben Brik, Arabic-language Arabi 21 online newspaper reported on Thursday.

The report added that the assassination of Sheikh Samhan Abdulaziz al-Rawi, a preacher and one of the leaders of the so-called Popular Resistance Committees, is one of the cases in which defendants have confessed to have received directives from Ben Brik to kill him.

“It is a terrible ignorance of the history of the Muslim Brotherhood group to say that it is a group that does not engage in terrorist acts and that it is a political group,” Hani Ben Brik said in a Tweet.

“The group’s history has been based on blood, assassinations and incitement to kill the violator since their founder al-Banna,” he said, accusing the Takfiri Brotherhood of belonging to the terrorist organizations al-Qaeda and ISIS.
