Disabled young man shot dead by coalition forces in Taiz

TAIZ, Oct. 25 (YPA) – A deaf young man was shot dead on Sunday by militants affiliated with the so-called “the 17th Brigade” loyal to Islah Party in Taiz city, southwest Yemen.

Local sources said that gunmen opened fire on a young man called “Tariq al-Barakani,” who suffers from deafness, while he was passing lost in areas close to their positions on the western front of the city.

The sources denounced the underestimation of the citizens lives by the coalition forces.

In last month, a citizen called Mohammed Mahdi was killed by members of the same brigade while demanding to evacuate his home last month.

The city of Taiz has been living in a state of lawlessness due to the violations committed by the militias loyal to the coalition against civilians.
