The Ministry of Transport and its affiliated bodies participate in a stand to condemn piracy on fuel ships

 

The Ministry of Human Rights and the Yemeni Oil Company, with the participation of the leadership and employees of the Ministry of Transport and its affiliated bodies, vital and service ministries, and the General Federation of Yemeni Trade Unions, organized  the 800th vigil to denounce the acts of piracy on fuel ships by the American-led aggression coalition.

On the sidelines of the stand, a press conference was held to review the catastrophic humanitarian situation resulting from the continuation of the siege, and the detention of fuel ships by the US-Saudi-Emirati aggression.

The Ministers of Fisheries, Muhammad Muhammad Al-Zubayri, and Ahmed Al-Ali, Electricity and Energy, affirmed that the United Nations’ disregard for the violations and crimes that are happening in Yemen encourages the countries of aggression to continue committing more crimes against the Yemeni people.

They pointed out that the losses and damages suffered by service institutions as a result of the blockade and the continued detention of oil derivatives ships led to a humanitarian catastrophe that affected the citizens’ lives.

Al-Zubairi and Al-Ali called on the United Nations and international organizations to carry out their humanitarian duty towards the violations and crimes against humanity that are taking place in Yemen by the countries of the coalition of aggression.

Meanwhile, the Acting Minister of Human Rights, Ali Al-Dailami, stressed the absence of international standards and justice by the international community and the United Nations, who have used double standards since the first day of the aggression against Yemen.

He urged the United Nations to play its role and make efforts to alleviate the suffering and human tragedy that the Yemeni people have been going through since seven years of aggression and siege.

 

Al-Dailami pointed out that the escalation of the aggression countries, the tightening and imposition of a comprehensive siege, and the piracy of licensed oil derivatives ships in the Red Sea, is evidence of the aggression countries’ persistence in committing crimes of collective punishment against Yemenis, bearing the consequences of living and health.

 

He explained that all heavenly laws, humanitarian laws, protocols and treaties affirm the protection of civilians and their avoidance of conflicts, which the countries of aggression against Yemen do not pay any attention to and is met with silence and shameful disregard by the United Nations and the international community.

He pointed out that preventing the entry of oil derivatives ships led to a disaster and an increase in the suffering of civilians in various fields, and complete paralysis in various sectors.

The Acting Minister of Human Rights pointed out that the stand coincides with the National Day of Resilience, March 26, to discuss the latest developments in the humanitarian situation in Yemen, as a result of the continued aggression and siege.

A statement issued by the stand condemned the continuing shameful international silence towards the crimes committed by the coalition of aggression by bombing, and the tightening of the siege on all the necessities of life in Yemen.

He held the coalition of aggression countries led by America responsible for the continuation of crimes and inhumane practices against the Yemeni people and for the further tightening of the siege on fuel and basic and necessary goods.

The statement of the stand considered the silence of the United Nations and its affiliated bodies an unprecedented collapse in the humanitarian system and in contravention of divine laws, customs, treaties and international charters.. It held the international community moral and legal responsibility for the repercussions of the blockade, preventing the entry of oil derivatives ships, the collapse of the humanitarian and health situation, and the lack of basic services for the citizen.

The statement demanded the lifting of the siege, the opening of the port of Hodeidah and the release of the ships of oil, food and pharmaceutical derivatives.. It called for treating the Yemeni expatriate the same as the rest of the expatriates, especially in light of the practices they are subjected to affecting human rights.
