STC’s forces threaten women in “Southern Revolutionary Movement” of physical liquidation
ADEN, Aug.28 (YPA) – Female leaders of the pro-Saudi so-called Southern Revolutionary Movement have received calls, insults and threats through social media, from people belonging to the pro-UAE Southern Transitional Council.
“Over the course of three days, a number of women leaders of the Supreme Council of the Revolutionary Movement in Aden have received a stream of calls and Whatsapp messages,” the presidency of the Revolutionary Movement Council said in a statement to public opinion on Tuesday.
The council’s presidency added in its statement that the calls and messages “are filled with insults, and threats of physical liquidation to both them and to the president of the Supreme Council of the Revolutionary Movement Fouad Rashid.”
“The correspondence confirms cases of surveillance of them in their departure from their workplaces, as well as their movements,” the report said. It accused the STC, saying: that “The callers claim to belong to the Southern Transitional Council.”
The presidency of the Supreme Council of the Southern Revolutionary Movement reinforced its accusation by saying: “These threats are taken seriously in the context of the culture of hate that is spreading and instilled in the media and news sites controlled by Southern Transitional Council media.”
“The Southern Transitional Council is fully responsible for [the safety of the] lives of the leaders, members and supporters of the Supreme Council of the Revolutionary Movement in Aden, and all areas controlled by the STC forces,” the statement read.
It also called on “local, Arab and international civil society organizations to condemn these criminal acts”.
The officials of Southern Revolutionary Movement informed the Aden Provincial Security Department of the phone numbers that made the calls and threatening letters.
The pro-Saudi Southern Revolutionary Movement Council and the pro-UAE Southern Transitional Council are competing for the status of political representative of the southern provinces, and are ironically both serving the invaders.
