Fisheries Ministry condemns Eritrean, Emirati attacks on Yemeni fishermen

SANAA, June (YPA) – The Ministry of Fisheries in the National Salvation Government on Saturday strongly condemned the Eritrean and Emirati forces’ attacks on Yemeni fishermen in Yemeni territorial waters and preventing them from fishing.

“The Eritrean and Emirati naval boats confiscated a Yemeni fishing boat and the contents of another boat, and forced 19 fishermen to ride it, despite the fact that it does not accommodate this large number, leaving them at sea facing risks,” the ministry said in a statement.

The statement appealed to the United Nations and humanitarian organizations to stop the attacks on Yemeni fishermen by “the US-Saudi-Emirati-Eritrean aggression countries.”

The Ministry confirmed that it reserves its legal right to file a lawsuit in international courts to prosecute aggression countries.
