Geneva – The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor
and 33 other Yemeni human rights organizations have sent an
urgent letter to the European Union’s High Representative
for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell,
calling for an urgent intervention to stop the dangerous
humanitarian repercussions in Marib city northern Yemen, as
result of the Houthi attack.
The organizations said in
their letter that in the last two weeks, the Houthis have
escalated their military campaign to control Marib and have
increased their indiscriminate attacks without regard to the
basic principles of international humanitarian law and the
dangers posed to the civilian population.
