Mass demonstrations in Taiz demanding trial of Islah leaders, coalition

TAIZ, July 7 (YPA) – Thousands of citizens demonstrated in Taiz city Tuesday in protest against the continuing deterioration of the security situation, condemning the crimes committed by Islah Party militias and Saudi-led coalition forces in Taiz province.

The protesters raised banners calling for the trial of the leaders of the so-called “security committee” headed by Mansour al-Akhali, appointed by the exiled Hadi as director of the security of the province, who is accused by the demonstrators of being behind many of the murders in the province.

The demonstrators closed the building of Taiz province office on Jamal Street in the city center, and chanted slogans against the “Hadi’s government” and the coalition countries, due to the lawlessness and the assassination crimes involving the coalition armed militias in the province.

The city of Taiz is witnessing an insecurity state in the areas that are under the control of the armed militias loyal to the coalition.
