Criminal group rapes 11-year-old boy in Aden

ADEN, March 23 (YPA) – A criminal group  committed a heinous crime against a child in Yemen’s southern Port city of Aden, which is under the control of the UAE-backed Transitional Council  (STC).

This was reported by Yemen News Portal on Wednesday,  based on the testimonies of local sources.

According to the sources, a gang of four raped an 11-year-old boy in  Al Buraiqeh District, west of Aden.

The sources added that the gang threatened the victim with death if says any word about the brutal attack he had suffered, but told his family who had informed the security services.

Aden has been witnessing an unprecedented spread of drugs among young people, which is pushing them to commit crimes including rape, which has escalated in the city in recent years, amid silence of the security services.
