UAE prince sued in France over war crimes in Yemen

SANAA, Nov. 22 (YPA) –  Two lawsuits were filed in France against Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan during his visit to Paris over his complicity in war crimes committed in Yemen and acts of torture.

A complaint filed by the International Alliance for the Defence of Rights and Freedoms (AIDL) and a number of Yemenis accused Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohamed bin Zayed al-Nahyan of “war crimes, complicity in acts of torture against Qatari men, and inhumane treatment in Yemen,” Le Figaro reported on Wednesday.

The two cases came during a visit by Mohammed bin Zayed to Paris, where he discussed with French President Emmanuel Macron the situation in the Middle East, especially the war on Yemen.
