Dozens of fishermen reject coalition’s arbitrary measures in Mocha

On Apr 25, 2022

Dozens of fishermen in the city of Mocha, west of Taiz province, rejected the arbitrary measures taken against them by the Saudi-led coalition forces in the city.

According to local sources, “Tariq Saleh” militia backed by the UAE “Tariq Saleh” militias deducted large sums of fish from the total sales of fish, in violation of legal regulations.

The fishermen of the fish landing center in the Al-Amoudi coast are being blackmailed by the agents of Tariq Saleh, the sources added.

They called on the fishermen to stop the injustice and arbitrary measures to which they are subjected, stressing the rejection of the large levies and royalties imposed by sales agents loyal to Tariq Saleh.
