Ministry of Justice, Human Rights Condemns US Aggression's Crime Against Migrants in Saada Shelter
Sana'a – Saba:
The Ministry of Justice and Human Rights condemned in the strongest terms the ongoing crimes committed by US aggression against civilians, facilities, and civilian infrastructure in Yemen.
In a statement obtained by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the ministry denounced the latest US airstrikes targeting a UN-supervised shelter housing African migrants in Saada Governorate, which resulted in over 200 migrant casualties.
The ministry described these crimes as cowardly acts that violate all divine laws, international conventions, and moral/humanitarian principles, adding to the US's black record of targeting civilians under false pretexts.
It emphasized that such crimes are not isolated, citing previous US attacks in Sana'a, Hodeidah, and Saada that killed/injured 1,313 civilians and caused widespread infrastructure destruction—a blatant violation of international humanitarian law.
The ministry affirmed these as war crimes and crimes against humanity requiring urgent international accountability, calling on the UN and global community to:
1. End their silence and take concrete action to halt US violations
2. Impose political/legal pressure on the US government and allies
3. Ensure compliance with international law
It reiterated Yemen's legitimate right to defend its sovereignty and citizens under the UN Charter, stressing that targeting civilians constitutes an imprescriptible crime.

Yemen:U.S. Embassy Condemns Continued Detention of Innocent Civilians by Houthis and Calls for Immediate Release
Aden- The U.S. Embassy to Yemen issued a strongly worded statement today, Friday, June 6, 2025, condemning the continued detention of innocent Yemeni civilians by the Houthi militia. Among those detained are employees of diplomatic missions, NGOs, and United Nations agencies—some of whom have been held since 2021. The embassy emphasized that these individuals have committed no crimes, noting that their work was focused on supporting their families and serving their communities. The statement described the detentions as a flagrant violation of human rights and international law. The embassy also pointed out that the Houthis are intimidating the families of detainees in an effort to silence them, preventing them from speaking publicly, sharing photos, or advocating for their loved ones. This campaign of fear effectively hides the plight of these innocent Yemenis from public view. The U.S. Embassy renewed its urgent call for the immediate and unconditional release of all detained civilians. It also reaffirmed its commitment to continuing diplomatic efforts to secure their freedom and ensure their safety and dignity. This condemnation follows recent reports by human rights organizations indicating that, since May 2024, the Houthi militia has arbitrarily arrested and forcibly disappeared dozens of UN and NGO workers without trial or disclosure of their whereabouts—acts that constitute grave breaches of international humanitarian law.

Palestinian Freedom Movement: Aggression on Lebanon confirms barbarity of Zionist enemy
Gaza – Saba: The Palestinian Freedom Movement condemned the Zionist aggression on the southern suburb of Beirut on Thursday evening on Friday. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the movement considered this aggression a blatant assault on Lebanon's sovereignty, supported by American cover and unjustified international silence. The movement stated: "This brutal aggression on Lebanon confirms the extent of the barbarity of this enemy, its lack of respect for the international community, its laws, and its norms. It also stated that it is an entity that does not heed any sanctions for its crimes in the region." It viewed this attack on the southern suburb as "a step forward from the war criminal wanted by the International Criminal Court, Benjamin Netanyahu, who is mired in internal conflicts ravaging him and his government, to open the door to a new conflict that will alleviate the pressure threatening his throne and authority. In doing so, it confirms his disregard for the blood of innocent children and women for his own personal interests. He is a war criminal par excellence." The Palestinian Liberation Movement affirmed the unity, sovereignty, and integrity of the Republic of Lebanon, and its right to respond by all means and methods, noting that the Zionist enemy knows and understands nothing but the language of force because it lacks morals, covenants, and does not recognize agreements.
