UAE-backed Shalal Shaye’s forces shown attacking Aden civilians in video footage
ADEN, Feb. 24 (YPA) – A Yemeni journalist from Lahj province on Sunday has published video footage of militias loyal to Shalal Shaye, who is backed by the UAE occupation forces, assaulting women and firing live bullets in order to intimidate them during a clash in the province of Aden.
“The militias of Shalal Shaye violated everything: religion and land, and are now trying to violate the honour of the people in Aden”, journalist Anis Mansour, Head of Hona Aden Media Foundation, wrote on his Twitter account.
He added that this video shows the women’s family defending their honor in the face of the soldiers belonging to Shalal Shaye when they tried to break into the homes of vulnerable families.
ماستشاهدونه في هذا الفيديو لن يصدقه عاقل وصاحب اخلاق ورجل مسلم وعنده غيره.
ميليشيات شلال وشبيحته انتهكوا كل شيء الدين والارض واخيرا يحاولون انتهاك اعراض الناس في عدن.
هذا الفيديو لاسرة حريم يدافعوا عن شرفهم في مواجهة جنود شلال وعبدالدايم الذي يحاولون اقتحام منازل اسر ضعيفة 1️⃣. pic.twitter.com/DUr35UIgZB— الصحفي / أنيس منصور (@ANES_m0) February 24, 2019
Mansour noted that these families live in front of the Mercure Hotel in Aden, and Shalal Shaye’s soldiers were taking advantage of the absence of some of their family members by going into their house.
The journalist stressed that such a violation of the honour of Yemenis has not happened in this way in any previous age.
During the past four years, incidents of abuse of women in the provinces under the control of the coalition and its militias have increased, and these attacks have varied from bodily harm to rape, abduction and murder and trafficking of their bodies
