Irada Organization affirms that the Houthi militia’s bombing of Sheikh Al-Maqrami’s home following his killing represents a dangerous escalation of acts of retaliation and attacks against homes and civilian property. It exposes a pattern of conduct that goes beyond targeting individuals to targeting their homes, property, and families.

The Organization condemns these acts in the strongest possible terms and stresses that the Houthi militia’s incursions into the districts of Taiz Governorate, its brutal treatment and killing of residents, looting of their property, forced displacement, indiscriminate bombardment using missiles and drones, demolition of homes, and destruction of civilian property constitute serious violations of international humanitarian law. Such violations warrant investigation, accountability, and the prosecution of those responsible, who must not be allowed to escape punishment.

Irada Organization calls upon the international community, the United Nations, and relevant international human rights mechanisms to take serious and concrete steps to hold the Houthi militia’s leadership and those responsible for these violations accountable, and to support international legal accountability mechanisms for crimes and violations committed against civilians in Yemen.

Irada Organization further calls upon the international community, the United Nations, and the United Nations Security Council to condemn these acts of Houthi terrorism and intervene urgently by supporting Yemen’s internationally recognized legitimate government authorities in ending the threat of Houthi terrorism, whose crimes have intensified across Yemen and whose threat has extended to the surrounding region.

The Organization also calls upon the Yemeni government and the competent authorities to monitor and document all incidents involving the demolition of homes, killings, and attacks against civilians and their property, preserve all related evidence, and work to identify, prosecute, and bring the perpetrators to justice.

Irada Organization holds the Yemeni government and the legitimate authorities responsible for taking all possible measures to protect citizens and their property, defend the rights of victims and their families, and make serious efforts to ensure that those responsible for these violations do not enjoy impunity.

Irada Organization against Torture and Enforced Disappearance reiterates its call for an end to the Houthi militia’s policy of systematic killings, demolition of homes, acts of retaliation against civilians, and arbitrary arrests, and for accountability and justice for victims.

The Organization emphasizes that serious crimes and grave violations must not be subject to statutes of limitations and that their perpetrators must be held accountable in accordance with domestic and international law.
