STC arrests activist for raising national flag in Aden

ADEN, May 26 (YPA) – Gunmen belonging to the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) arrested southern activist Rehab Bajrsh in the southern port city of Aden and several of her colleagues and took them to an unknown destination.

According to local sources in Aden, the STC militias attacked and dispersed a gathering of activists and their supporters in the so-called children’s government for raising the national flag, and arrested them after exchange of verbal attacks.

The arrest of activist Rehab Bajrsh comes hours after the STC militia arrested southern activist Nasr Allahji for criticizing the living situation in Aden, and the inability of UAE allies to carry out their duties towards Aden residents after they declared self-rule about a month ago.

The STC forced to release Allahji after a widespread campaign of criticism from his colleagues on the media and social media platforms.
