STC-affiliated gunman executes child in her father’s lap in Aden

ADEN, June 28 (YPA) – A militia member of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC), executed on Tuesday a 4-year-old girl named Haneen while she was hugging with her father in Yemen’s southern port city of Aden.

Eyewitnesses reported that the crime was a result of a traffic accident, on Al-Kathiri Street in Mansoura, between the car of the child’s father and another car belonging to the STC gunmen.

They said the gunman got out of his car and immediately shot at the other car, killing the child Haneen and wounding her sister.

Telephone cameras documented the moment the father tried to rescue his daughter as he ran down the main street, but she took her last breath before reaching the hospital.

This crime, which shook the people of Aden, comes as an extension of the series of crimes and killings that citizens are subjected to at the hands of the STC gunmen.
