Abductees’ Mothers Association held a candlelight vigil on Saturday evening in front of the Taiz Governorate building, on the fourth anniversary of the bombing of the Community College Prison in Dhamar by the Arab coalition aircraft. The bombing resulted in the death of approximately 134 abductees who were forcibly hidden, and the injury of around 45 others.
On this painful anniversary, Abductees’ Mothers Association continued to stand with the families of the victims who are seeking justice and calling for an international investigation into the killing of their children. Some of them had not even been able to identify the body of their child, as they were buried among the unidentified remains in mass graves.
Through this vigil, Abductees’ Mothers Association condemned the ongoing international and humanitarian silence regarding this crime, which remained among the forgotten crimes.
The association reiterated its condemnation of Houthi armed group and the Arab coalition, holding them fully responsible for the genocide that their abducted sons have been subjected to. This is a crime that will not be subject to the statute of limitations.
The association called on the Security Council and the United Nations to hold the perpetrators of this crime and those responsible for it accountable, as it amounted to war crimes.
The association demanded that the Arab coalition abide by international humanitarian law and hold accountable those who carried out the bombing of the Community College Prison in Dhamar, bringing them to justice. It also called for fair compensation for the families of the victims and survivors.
