30 Yemeni fishermen arrive in Hodeidah

HODEIDAH, Dec. 18 (YPA) – At least Thirty fishermen who were being held in Eritrean prisons arrived at Al Khubah fishing centre in Hodeidah province on Thursday.

The head of the General Authority for Fisheries in the Red Sea, Engineer Hashim Al-Da’ani, explained that the fishermen were being held in the prisons of Eritrea after being arrested from inside Yemeni territorial waters several months ago.

Al-Da’ani condemned the Saudi-Emirati aggression against fishermen on the Yemeni coast and the attacks and the prevention of fishing.

He stressed that the aggression’s insistence on preventing fishermen from practicing their profession and earning their day’s livelihood is part of the sordid plans carrying out to kneel and subjugate the Yemeni people.

He called on international organizations to assume their legal and moral responsibility to stop the crimes of aggression and violations against the Yemeni people and their arbitrary practices against fishermen on all Yemeni coasts and to deprive them of their sole source of income.
