Impunity Encourages Emiratis to Commit More Crimes in Yemen

Throughout the eight years of its participation in the war on Yemen, Abu Dhabi continues its absurdity and violations of human rights and the commission of more crimes against Yemenis. It is specialized in assassinations, kidnappings and torture inside prisons and secret detention centers established by the Saudi-led coalition in the areas under its control.

The political activist and former leader of the so-called Southern Resistance, Adel al-Hassani, revealed in a series of tweets on his Twitter account, new information documented with pictures about Emirati intelligence officers who were present in Aden and some southern regions. They had a major role in establishing the secret prisons of the Emirates.

“The one who supervises all the UAE’s crimes in southern Yemen, including assassinations and arrests, and the first controller in the UAE’s secret prisons is the officer Abu Khalifa Saeed Mohammad Khamis Al-Nyadi, who is close to Mohammed bin Zayed,” Al-Hassani said. “He asked to meet me several times during the 2015 war, and he knew me personally, and he offered me offers that would not be rejected, to be one of their arms in my land. However, when he became certain of my position of rejection, he arrested me, and he also tried during my arrest to persuade me to join their project.”

Al-Hassani listed some of the names of the Emirati officers, including the criminal Abu Uday Ali Hajar Al-Shehhi, an Emirati soldier, who served for a short period in Al-Ma’ashiq Palace, then moved to the headquarters of the Emirati forces in Hawsh Bazara – Al-Buraiqa Line. he is a criminal murderer at whose hands many Yemeni prisoners died.

Also the criminal Issa Al Balushi, an Emirati military man, who moved from Al-Ma’ashiq Palace to the Coalition prison in 2016. He was charged with torturing prisoners, he is a petty and cowardly person, so to speak, who was afraid of his own shadow. Among his crimes is that he used to torture some of the detainees, and whoever dies, puts him in a black plastic bag, and after that no one knows the fate of the bodies.

Al-Hassani also revealed, in his tweets, the names of many Emirati officers and soldiers who tortured him during his arrest and against many of the abductees in the UAE’s secret prisons.

On the other hand, no reactions or statements were published from the Emirati side or the pro-aggression government, denying what al-Hassani and local media are circulating about the names of the Emirati officers who were revealed.

Al-Hassani returned and stated in his tweets that he had received threats from what he described as Emirati officers to return him to prison.

“The results of the leak, after revealing and leaking pictures of some Emirati individuals in Yemen, seem to have angered them,” he said. “One of their foolish soldiers published a picture of me, which shows their crime and condemns their actions, commenting on it that they are able to send me back to their prisons.”

Al-Hassani added, “the truth is that we are the ones who will expel you from our land in humiliation, and all the honorable people of the country have unanimously agreed to expel you.”

He released pictures of local recruits in the ranks of the coalition who were brutally tortured and slaughtered with knives in the manner of Daesh.

“These are pictures of the soldier, Majid Rushdeh, who was tortured by Mukhtar Al-Nubi from the Emirati-backed STC. He slaughtered him with a knife and threw him on the side of the road,” he said.

He added that Hilmi al-Najdi was tortured by Saddam Gharamah, commander of the UAE security belt in Abyan, until he died.

In another picture, Al-Hassani said: “This is Mukhtar Al-Nubi, the people of Radfan are calling for his departure. Currently, he fled from Radfan and is in Al-Dawar Palace in Aden, where there is a group of Emirati intelligence officers who manage the bloody scene in southern Yemen.”

Al-Hassani pointed out that the UAE assigned Hani Bin Brik to kill preachers and lead the liquidation project. “When he was exposed and the hour of justice came, they isolated him from the world and he became a humiliated hostage, thinking that this would absolve them from their crime.”

Al-Hassani indicated that the UAE has today enabled new puppets, such as Al-Nubi and Fine, to torture and kill Yemenis.

Al-Hassani concluded his tweets, saying: “It is right and proper, and the moment of truth will come soon.” he also talked about kidnappings and torture that still affect university students and activists in the areas controlled by the coalition.

The team of international and regional experts, which was charged with investigating human rights violations committed in Yemen, emptied large spaces in its continuous reports on UAE and coalition prisons in the Yemeni areas controlled by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, and the need to hold accountable those responsible for the crimes committed in those prisons. In addition to the issuance of many reports by human rights organizations around the world about the crimes committed in the coalition prisons. However, all these demands did not receive the required response from the international community and the United Nations.

It is a phenomenon of impunity the world had not known before, which encouraged one of the Emirati officers whom Al-Hassani spoke about, to threaten him with “returning him to detention” without any fears of the possibility of being held accountable.
