Mercenaries tortur to death captive in Marib

The National Center for Returnees condemned on Sunday the crime of torturing to death of captive Kahlan Abdul Hakim al-Rumim by the aggression’s mercenaries in the prisons of Marib province.

During the implementation of an exchange deal with mercenaries two weeks ago, the committee was surprised to receive al-Rumim’s body with physical effects of torture, and after a post-mortem examination by the forensic doctor, it was confirmed that al-Rumim have been killed under torture, the committee said in a statement.

The Center held the leadership of aggression and mercenaries in Marib moral and legal responsible for the crime and the previous crimes against prisoners.

The repetition of such crimes against prisoners was the result of the silence of the United Nations and its organizations operating in Yemen, despite the Commission’s knowledge of all those crimes, as well as the criminal conduct of mercenary gangs in Marib and elsewhere.

The Committee called on the UN envoy to condemn this crime and put pressure on the forces of aggression and mercenaries to stop criminal practices against prisoners, to implement the Sweden Agreement and to conduct a comprehensive and complete exchange of all prisoners.

It also called on all local and international organizations to condemn and prosecute these crimes.
