Indian police threaten pro-coalition war-wounded with imprisonment

NEW DELHI, Jul. 24 (YPA) – A number of the war-wounded in the ranks of the Saudi-led coalition, who are in India, have complained of being insulted and threatened with imprisonment due to the failure of their leadership to fulfill its financial obligations towards them.

“Balqis” TV channel affiliated with the Yemeni Islah Party reported the difficult situation of the wounded, who have reached a state that they can not feed themselves.

Some wounded even confirmed that they mortgaged their passports and most of what they owned to get food and drink from restaurants and shops, in addition to their inability to pay the rent.

According to the channel, the wounded who fought in the ranks of the coalition are liable to be imprisoned at any time by the Indian police because of the accumulated debts for restaurants, housing owners and others, not to mention the discontinuation of treatment and the failure to perform the surgeries scheduled for them.

The wounded told the channel that they are vulnerable to permanent disabilities; for not performing surgeries, which reveals the ugliness and the extent of corruption practiced by Hadi’s government and its illegal institutions and committees against those it pushed them to fight for its interests.
