The Background

Since the Houthi-Saleh alliance invaded Taiz governorate in March 2015 until the present day in January 2021, human rights in Taiz governorate have been exposed to the crimes of assassinations, field executions and arbitrary arrests, through kidnappings from public roads and residential neighborhoods, and by storming homes with force of arms many times. According to the reports of the International Group of Experts on Yemen, the 22nd Mika Brigade and the Popular Mobilization Forces, since its establishment, have become affiliated with the Islah party, along with other extremist and terrorist entities, all of which operate outside the rule of law, And their detention in irregular places of detention (23 educational school buildings and government facilities designated for criminal acts outside the framework of the law in which arbitrary executions were carried out in previous periods, and hundreds remain in detention centers and unauthorized prisons. These authorities work on arresting, kidnapping, arresting and raiding homes independently and by coordinating their work in detaining people in their places, ignoring other supposed guarantees against arbitrary arrest and detention, and at many times they carried out random arrests, as these arbitrary arrests included children in provocative and degrading methods, It concealed their detention for long periods, refused to acknowledge their existence, and did not reveal their detention to their family members, thus placing the detained persons outside the protection of the law, making them victims of the international crime of enforced disappearance. Detainees are also subjected to inappropriate treatment, and torture and other forms of cruel treatment and punishment are practiced against them in the first days of detention and while in incommunicado detention. The methods of torture include continuous torture by various means, such as beatings with sticks, deprivation of sleep for long hours, degrading treatment, surrounded by dignity, and inflicting severe physical and mental suffering while being held in dark corridors. Our Human Rights Commission has been able to monitor and document many cases of victims of arbitrary arrests, victims of torture and field executions, after conducting interviews with the families of the victims and with some of the victims of arbitrary arrests after their release at various times. We refer here to the victims of the crime of enforced and disappeared disappearances since 2016 until the moment, including: The political activist / Ayoub Al-Salihi and the human rights activist / Akram Hamid and the journalist / Abdul Hakim Al-Barakani and the student / Najm Al-Din Jamil Al-Sama'i. Five years to the present day, from January 2021. Haq has previously issued four field reports on the reality of human rights in Taiz governorate, namely:

1- The Reality of Human Rights and informal prisons ……… (October 2017) 2- Legal and Illegal Prisons ………..(January 2019) 3- The dangers of sectarianism and storming the old city...... (April 2019) 4- Under the militia rule...... (June 2019)

Also, the Haq Organization for Rights and Freedoms is following with interest what human rights are exposed to in the (Al-Hajriya) regions and cities southeast of Taiz city after it was overrun by the Popular Mobilization Militia of the Islah Party in Taiz governorate in the middle of 2020. Reprehensible measures, in violation of national and international laws, were taken by the Popular Mobilization Militia in the Al-Hajriyah area, through which human rights were subjected to serious crimes, and these measures are still ongoing, along with the seizure of private property and its transformation into informal training camps and the recruitment of children and unemployed youth from the region of political dimensions and military strategy to serve the interests of regional countries, according to the different media.

TAIZ GOVERNORATE OUTSIDE THE LIMITS OF LEGITIMACY 2015 - 2020

The governorate of Taiz is located in the southwest of Yemen, with an area of 10 thousand square kilometers and a population of nearly four million people who make up 15% of the population of Yemen, distributed among 23 districts, and it has got an important strategic location that it looks at Bab Al-Mandab strait through which pass 22 thousand merchant ships per year, including oil tankers, which reflects their location and influence on international shipping, in addition to the historic port of Mocha. Likewise, it is not possible to overlook the human stock and its civil and cultural assets. All these important human and geographical characteristics make it a link between the north and south of Yemen. For all these reasons combined, the (Houthi - Saleh) coalition invaded it in March of 2015, and important parts of the city of Taiz were controlled until June 2016, and the Houthi militia still controls five directorates of the governorate and the main outlets located in the western and eastern northern regions. Leading to the city of Taiz, the center of the governorate.

SIEGE AND HUMAN SUFFERING AND THE CRIMES OF THE HOUTHI MILITIA The governorate of Taiz is one of the Yemeni governorates most suffering as a result of the unjustified aggression against it by the Houthi militia, which severely damaged the humanitarian aspect as a result of serious abuses such as willful killings, arbitrary arrests and abductions to which civilians were subjected, and the launch of armed attacks with heavy weapons on civilian populated areas in clear violation of the law International humanitarian and human rights law, Starting from the month of March 2015, which is still in its brutal attacks from its places of presence, as it is stationed at the outskirts of the city on the east side of Al-Hawban area and around it, which is approximately 14 kilometers from the city center, and from the west, Al-Rabei area and its surroundings, about 8 km Indiscriminate attacks on the city’s neighborhoods in many cases with Katyusha rockets and artillery shells were among the most dangerous armed attacks on the city on 15 September, 2017 targeting the neighborhoods of Souk Al Samil and Shaab Al Dobaa, killing 4 and wounding 14 other civilians careless for the past years and what those hostile actions have left against the people of Taiz city in terms of killing civilians, as the death toll has topped the most painful and cruel categories since the storming of the city and the imposition of siege on it and the subjection of the people to the policy of starvation and the kidnappings that reached their extent and the destruction of the infrastructure of the city and deliberately to displace the people from Many directorates from the governorate in difficult humanitarian situations to different directions, including the areas of Bab al-Mandab in the west, up to the city of in the province of Abyan, in the east. Where they live since their arrival a poor life without food and medical supplies reaching them, except for the first six months of their arrival, where one of the organizations provided them with food, according to the testimony of some families to our organization during their recent descent to their camp in Zinjibar. According to local human rights activists and organizations, the death toll from civilian deaths reached more than 3000 people, most of them children and women, and the number of dead mines planted by the Houthi militia reached (754) victims and (16,000) wounded, which is a statistic until 2017, and the Houthi militia imposed a siege that has been imposed on the city from all sides since the beginning of 2015 until June 2016, which led to the spread of epidemics and the high rate of famine among the people, which coincided with a wave of displacement of tens of thousands of displaced people, and homes and shops were subjected to looting and the kidnapping of thousands of civilians and placing them in private, irregular prisons. At the time, the Yemeni government announced that the city of Taiz was a disaster city, and the resistance factions were able, with support from the Arab Coalition, to break the siege on the city of Taiz in the first half of 2016 from the southwestern side, which became 7

the only outlet for the city and the link between the cities of Taiz and Aden to the south despite the difficult and arduous road, which is mostly unpaved and interspersed with mountains and valleys, the relief situation has improved relatively, but it is not exactly as required at that time.

HEALTH STATUS: When the Houthi militia stormed the city of Taiz in 2015, the health situation in the governorate almost completely collapsed as a result of the closure of most hospitals, and many of them were looted and attacked (Hospitals: Al-Thawra, Al-Jamhoury, Al-Askary and The Swedish ) and other health centers and preventing the entry of medicines and medical aid in light of the increase and spread of epidemics and infectious diseases such as Dengue fever and cholera. And at its beginning in 2016, things got worse, according to Dr. Mohammad Makharish, Deputy Director of Al-Jumhoori Hospital, who said that the intensity and severity of the military confrontations led to the deterioration of the health situation in the city of Taiz. Its doors were due to the lack of oil derivatives for hospital generators at that time, and he added at the time that many of the wounded had rotten wounds, and some died due to the lack of medicines. Most of the health staff left the governorate to escape the war, and the Yemeni government declared that the city of Taiz was a stricken city, which led to the Health Organization Global to send 20 tons of medical aid.

Islah party Empowerment and Risks (2015 - 2020)

1- Empowerment: (De-Facto Powers) The Yemeni Reform Party strived to bring down the constitutional and legislative powers in Taiz governorate in stages that spanned from 2015 until 2020, and after the last strongholds of the constitutional authorities were overthrown in August 2020 in Al-Hajriya region, it was able to fully control Taiz Governorate (De Facto Authorities) under its command and the de facto ruler took control of the general guide of the Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen. - The Reform Yemeni Rally Party and the armed factions and terrorist organizations under its loyalty operating outside the framework of the law deliberately committed, since early 2015, to commit criminal acts with the aim of eliminating opponents of its wrong policies that transcended the literature and norms of politics in its general sense and the deviation of its behavior as a political party, by Opposition politicians, businessmen, civil society activists, jurists, media professionals, and all of the simple suspects, by various means, through assassinations, field executions, arbitrary arrests, enforced disappearances, exile outside the country, liquidating allies in different periods, and fabricating security chaos and acts of violence at home. The constitution, which does not recognize the Yemeni constitution or the civil state, declared this explicitly in the beginning of its establishment from 1990 as a political party in the Yemeni arena, and it intended to disrupt the role of the judicial authorities and replaced it with Sharia courts, one of which is located in the Chamber of Commerce building in the area of the Al-Ashraf Basin, the Cairo Directorate, administered by an authority from ISIS judges are headed by Judge Laotf Al-Ezzi, a reformist leader, and the father of the leader in Al- Qaeda organization Harith Al-Ezzi, as well as the disruption of work procedures in the legal prisons, which led to their closure and was satisfied with the establishment of private non-regular prisons far from judicial supervision, the number of which reached 30 prisons in 2019 in the city of Taiz in particular, and the Reform Party worked to undermine corrections for all that is legal, starting with preventing three governorates of Taiz from carrying out their official duties, as well as preventing them from entering the city of Taiz, the governorate's center, seizing the governorate’s resources, plundering relief aid and selling it on the black market, seizing many public and private facilities and looting their contents, and in the second half of the year. 2020, the Popular Mobilization Militia, affiliated with it, invaded the regions and cities of Al-Taiz (Al-Hajaria) and worked to dismantle the 35th Armored Brigade, the last military sector that represents the constitutional legitimacy in Taiz Governorate and exposed human rights to serious crimes and turned the region into chaos, violence and attacks on public and private property rights similar to what is happening in Taiz City, 6 years ago, the Popular Mobilization Forces have also worked to establish training camps and irregular observation sites. Most of these abuses and violations from 2015 until 2020, including serious crimes of all kinds. It was monitored and documented by human rights centers, human rights activists and media professionals, and by Haq, where it issued four field reports related to the reality of human rights in Taiz governorate. The Islah Party was able to fully control the strategic Taiz Governorate away from the legitimate government, bypassing the Yemeni constitution and national and international laws, and transforming the governorate into a Muslim Brotherhood emirate with a barbaric militia character in order to serve external interests instead of carrying out its moral, national and legal duties alongside the various other sectors operating in The framework of legitimacy and the Arab coalition forces to end the coup and eliminate the rebellion movement in accordance with the international resolutions issued by the UN Security Council that granted the legal right to all political, national, military, security and popular components to defend the existing political system to end the coup and restore conditions to normal as they were in their previous era before September 2014. 9

2- RISKS: (Dimensions of the expansion of the Popular Mobilization Militia) The growing empowerment of the Popular Mobilization Militia, ideological and partisan political agenda in the country, not only poses a threat to Yemen, but also extends its danger to the countries of the region in general due to the partisan and political extension of the Brotherhood Popular Mobilization Militia within an external organization (the Muslim Brotherhood), which could make Yemen a focus Anxiety and a threat to the stability of the region. The Popular Mobilization Militia was formed in the Taiz governorate as a sectarian Sunni version, similar to the Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq with a Shiite sectarian character and an Iranian combat and political doctrine. 2015, and they were appointed and given high military ranks upon the restoration of the legitimate government to form the National Army after most of its former army rebelled against it and sided with the Houthi coup. The Popular Mobilization Militia was formed in Taiz secretly, and no one knew about it outside the circle of certain party leaders of the Islah party until the bloody confrontations erupted in Taiz between the military forces of the legitimate government, and the Islah Party forced these militias to carry out besieging and storming the old city under the justification of a campaign A wish to arrest wanted security officials, and media affiliated with the Islah party, including the "Yemen Shabab" satellite channel, reported that the second batch of the Popular Mobilization Forces to support the National Army had graduated on 10March, 2019, but no attention was paid to it because the news dealt with these forces on It is a member of the 22nd Mika Brigade, and after attacking the Old City and storming it in the second half of March 2019, websites, media and social media reported the participation of the Popular Mobilization Militia in the fighting mainly and their responsibility for harassment, indiscriminate bombing with heavy and medium weapons, incursions into homes, killing and wounding civilians in the city the demolition of their homes and shops, the displacement of many people to the areas of displacement, the damage to public buildings, and the practice of crimes that amount to the description as war crimes And the violation of international humanitarian law, and the local community, public opinion, and civil and political forces began to feel the danger of the presence of this Brotherhood party militia locally, nationally and regionally. - Through the information provided by Haq organization through its field team going to the old city of Taiz in March - April 2019 and its meetings with the victims, the affected and the displaced due to the conflict and the news, analyzes, reactions, societal, political and national positions on the emergence of the Popular Mobilization Militia and its practices. the following : 1 - The emergence of the Popular Mobilization Militia in the midst of the conflict in Yemen constitutes a new addition to the list of outlawed armed formations established outside the law, and not subject to the Yemeni government, which increases the complexities of the war and opens a new door to the inter-conflict that doubles the human suffering of Yemenis, with the victims this conflict leaves behind. Civilians, damage to private and public property, and destruction of what remains of the state's infrastructure. 2- The loyalty of the Popular Mobilization Militia to a political party, the Islah party, and the nature of its ideological structure and political agenda affiliated with the Islah party poses a threat to the local social fabric, civil life, and the democratic process in Yemen, and strengthens the dominance of a party component over society by force and conquest, and the hijacking of the tasks of power and monopoly. Its responsibilities and decision and harnessing this for the benefit of the party and its partisan, political and ideological agenda, which encourages in the future the repetition of the rebellion and the coup experiment against the state and its legitimate institutions that took place on 21 September, 2014. 3 - The growing empowerment of these ideological militias with a partisan political agenda in the country not only poses a threat to Yemen, but also extends its danger to the countries of the region in general due to the

11

partisan and political extension of the Brotherhood Popular Mobilization Militia within an external organization (the Muslim Brotherhood), which could make Yemen A focus of concern and a threat to the stability of the region because of this organization's relationship with terrorist groups that will find an ally to embrace and shelter them, it trains, arms and believes in it as a starting point for sabotage and the practice of terrorist acts in neighboring countries, which reinforces the hopes and dreams of the State of Qatar in support of chaos and destruction in the region. 4 - The Popular Mobilization Militia in Yemen will not hesitate in the future to extend its activities outside Yemen to threaten and blackmail the countries of the region, and this is a dangerous indicator indicating the extent of the Muslim Brotherhood’s feeling of strength and supremacy that they have acquired a party military force capable of occupying existing states. 5 - The slogans repeated by the founders of the Popular Mobilization Militia in Yemen that it is a force in support of the National Army fighting to thwart the Houthi rebellion and restore legitimacy are false and deceptive slogans as the nature of its preparation is military and security, and the reality has proven that one of its tasks is to eliminate all who stand in front of the control and dominance of the Islah party in the regions Indeed, some news indicates cooperation and coordination between the Hashd militia and the Houthis, and that choosing the name of the Popular Mobilization Forces, similar to the Shiite Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq, is a message to the Houthi militia to reassure them that they are not the targets of the formation of the Popular Mobilization Forces in Yemen. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. THE MOST PROMINENT LEADERS OF THE POPULAR CROWD AND THE MOST VIOLENT AND BLOODY OF THEM 1- Shawqi Saeed Al-Mikhlafi The commander of the Hamza Brigade (Al-Rawda neighborhood) in relation to his brother Hamza, who was killed in clashes between militias in Taiz in 2016.

Actual ruler of Taiz governorate General guide of the Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen

The legitimate government, the Arab coalition, and the local authority in Taiz governorate, including a governor, a security director, and other names appearing in the governorate's executive management, do not have any effective authority over the military and security decision in the Taiz governorate. The first actual decision-maker on the military and security side in Taiz is the Muslim Brotherhood’s guide in Yemen. It is a hidden and invisible character. And in consultation with Ali Mohsen Al-Ahmar, who are drawing up decisions for Taiz, especially on the military and security side. There is information about the names of leaders from the Guidance Office or the secret kitchen of the Muslim Brotherhood organization in Taiz governorate who carry out the task of assistants and assistants and take over the issue of managing and implementing the military and security agenda drawn by the Muslim Brotherhood Guide and Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar, and they may sometimes participate in planning alongside them, but the first decision is not for them, rather it is However, the guide in consultation with Ali Mohsen. Among the leading names on which the information was filtered: Samir Al-Hajj, one of the old men of the Muslim Brotherhood, who was the commander of the Taiz Military Axis, and Abd Al-Hafiz Al-Faqih and Ahmad Al-Qumairi, who supervises the governorates of Taiz, the south, and the governorate of with authorization from the Guidance Office, and his servant Farhan Salem, who is estimated by some to be a first-class man due to his movements and his presence in some of the events and conflicts in Taiz, while he was a second-row man, but he handed over part of the military file and who contributed to the formation of the Popular Mobilization Militia, one of the arms of the Muslim Brotherhood in Taiz Governorate, along with the Brotherhood leader Hammoud Al-Mikhlafi, and the Brotherhood's Islah Party uses these armed brigades to liquidate opponents and launch attacks on the south, in order Damaging its security and stability, confirming that the Brotherhood’s compass is heading towards the capital, Aden, and does not aim to liberate Sana'a from the Houthis.

The merger process took place in two phases, in the first phase, which included the Tramps Brigade and Hasm Brigades to lead the Taiz Military Axis directly, and the Asifah Brigade and some other armed groups were integrated into the brigade (22 Mika). As for the Students ’Brigade, it was merged into the 17 Infantry Brigade, while the Hamza Brigade was merged into the brigade 170 Air Defense) In the second stage, additional brigades were formed to accommodate the armed entities and groups, leaders and extremist and terrorist elements, and the brigades are: The Fifth Brigade, Presidential Guard - and (Brigade 145) - and the Fourth Brigade of Mountain Infantry.

- After the leaders of the Islah party sensed the upcoming risks that they will face in the future, they embarked on the merger process (merging the merged into the merged) in two stages, the last of which was in 2018, In a random and confused manner that comes within the framework of sensing the international criminal responsibility that the leaders of the Islah Party will face in the coming days for the large number of grave crimes committed against civilians in the governorate of Taiz and all the violations and abuses that led to the destruction of the earth and the human being together over a period of six years under the rule of De facto authorities, the grave and serious crimes to which human rights have been subjected are crimes that are not statutory and must not go unpunished, and work to ensure that the perpetrators are effectively prosecuted. Possible and necessary measures must be taken by strengthening international cooperation and resolving to put an end to not escaping Punishing the perpetrators of these crimes, which claimed innocent lives, in frightening and terrifying scenes, and working to prevent their recurrence in the future.

- The process of attaching armed elements and entities under various names that operate outside the law in the military brigades of the Taiz Military Axis, as this is tantamount to concealing the armed entities operating outside the law that have committed serious crimes against civilians over a period of six years in Taiz governorate within the lists of the military brigades. Which we believe is unofficial and unlawful in both practical and legal terms, otherwise it would not have accepted the annexation of armed entities listed on terror lists by international official circles, and all criminal acts and violations practiced by the military brigades called the National Army confirm with evidence and proof that they are legally illegitimate as well as Its acceptance of elements and entities accused of terrorism in its ranks, because this acceptance in itself revokes its legitimacy if it has a legal character, in addition to its establishment that lacks legal standards and the official military regulations and systems that are internationally recognized.

- The armed entities and extremist and terrorist organizations, whose numbers reached 15 entities and organizations, all operating outside the framework of the law, committed serious criminal acts and owed allegiance to the Islah party and are working under its effective control in Taiz Governorate, including 6 entities that have crises in the course of events and committed criminal acts since the beginning of the war in 2015.

Entity No. (4): Students Brigade: This entity emerged in the beginning of 2015 in the districts of Birbasha and Al-Hasab in Taiz city, and it is an entity formed from school students, underage children, high school students, and teachers for government schools. This is why it was called the Students Brigade, where the number of its affiliates in the first stages reached hundreds under the supervision of reform leaders. The teacher of mathematics (Abdo Hammoud Al- Saghir) was assigned to lead this entity that controlled the Wadi Al-Dhabab area in previous periods, and upon the merger of the armed entities, its elements were incorporated into the lists of the 17th Infantry Brigade of the Taiz Military Axis, and the commander of the armed students brigade was awarded in 2017 the rank of colonel and chief The operations of the 17th Infantry Brigade and became the actual commander of the brigade to legitimize it and cover up the crimes and violations that were committed by the members of the Armed Students Brigade in different periods in the city of Taiz.

AL-HAJARIA AREA AND TOPPLING THE LAST STRONGHOLDS OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITIES Al-Hujaria: They are the villages and towns of the southern, southwestern and southeastern geographica l areas of the Taiz governorate, which were called Al-Hajaria district during the Ottoman occupation. Its area is one-third of the area of the Taiz governorate and its population is about one and a half million people, according to the administrative division of the Taiz governorate. Al-Hajaria consists of nine districts. Domnat Khadeer Dist. Al-Selw Dist. Haifan Dist. Samae Dist.

All of them are located in the southeast of the governorate center and are under the control of the Houthi militia.

Al-Magfer Dist. Al-Mwasit Dist. Shamayatayn District

All of them are located south of the governorate center and are subject to the control of the Popular Mobilization Forces after the invasion of the Shamayatayn district in the middle of the year 2020.

Gabal Habashi Dist. Al-Wazieah Dist.

It is located in the southwest of the governorate Most of its areas fall under the control of the center and is under the control of the Popular resistance of the West Coast Mobilization Militia and terrorist organizations affiliated with the de facto authorities

Al Hujaria properties: In addition to its population density, Al Hajaria is considered the home of many political leaders, intellectuals, writers and businessmen scattered throughout Yemen, north and south, and Al Hajaria areas are located along a series of plateaus and mountainous heights overlooking the northwestern regions and the western coast regions and form a strategic depth of the Bab Al-Mandab Strait and southern Yemen. One of the most important reasons that called for the Popular Mobilization Militia to invade and control them, which constitutes a real threat to international shipping lanes and a threat to international peace and security. AL-TURBAH CITY: The city of Al-Turbah, located in Al-Shamayatayn district, about 70 km south of the city of Taiz, is considered the center of the governorate. It is the metropolis of Al-Hujariah and is a miniature version of the city of Taiz, which includes a government university and branches of private universities and other services such as banks and hospitals. The importance of this city lies in its being the only corridor of a main supply line between the cities of Taiz and Aden through (Heija Al-Abed), and it was emphasized by the popular crowd for the reasons mentioned above, in addition to the overlap of the Shamayatayn district geographically with the southern governorates of Lahj and the districts of the western coast, so the share of this directorate was many The Popular Mobilization camps are irregular. The Popular Mobilization Militia is working on building an alternative road of (Heija Al- Abed) that has been covered by many local and regional sites and channels linking its two directorates to Al-Maqatara and heading south towards the directorate of

21

Al-Mudaraba and the southern Ras Al-Ara area on the outskirts of the western coast. The project of this road has met with popular condemnation because of the timing now and what the popular crowd is planning in the current period. The city of Al-Turbah embraces the largest human gathering in Taiz governorate until close to 2020, after the 35th Armored Brigade provided it with security and stability according to the statements of independent military, political and media experts, which led to an increase in the number of arrivals and IDPs, and the urban expansion in it, and an atmosphere of calm and housing prevailed in the city. To many international organizations, including the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, where its last visit was on 17 November, 2019 Related to the procedures for establishing an office for the High Commissioner in the city of Al-Turbah, which caused the Islah Party to become anxious and resentful of those steps taken by the UNHCR, in addition to the many positive aspects that have occurred in Al-Turbah, which made it an alternative center for the city of Taiz, in which the humanitarian side is exposed to harm and all aspects of life and its aunt Chaos and acts of violence as a result of fabricated security imbalances and many of its residents left it to areas and cities outside Taiz Governorate, and to the city of Al-Turbah in particular. At that time, the Reform Party's response was to establish the Fourth Brigade, a mountainous infantry west of Al-Turbah, as a start to targeting the city of Al-Turbah, the center of the Al-Shamayatayn District from the inside, in preparation for its invasion through the Popular Mobilization Militia, according to the field information of Haq Organization, with the aim of salvation from the 35th Armored Brigade, an obstacle to the aspirations and hopes of the Yemeni Brotherhood aimed at what It is far from Taiz governorate to serve external interests. We also believe that the beginning of 2019, through the data and events on the ground and their follow-up by Haq, is a watershed stage for the ruling authorities in Taiz, which has been well prepared to eliminate the remaining constitutional powers and seize control over the entire Taiz governorate. The year 2019 witnessed the emergence of a rising armed force under the name of the Popular Mobilization Militia in Taiz city, after it had been well prepared since 2018 with the methodology of the Muslim Brotherhood's ideological thought meticulously and with great care and subjected to intensive training courses and prepared security and military as a militia force for the post-armed entities and extremist and terrorist organizations It also underwent merging and retreating in the military brigades of the National Army, as it is called, after the actions of those entities in the past periods exceeded the limits of logic and reason in their persistence in committing crimes of all kinds, to which all segments of society were subjected to condolences. Hence, the Islah Party believed that it had achieved gains in concealing its arms that accompanied it for three consecutive years until 2018, but the picture became clear to international centers concerned with human rights, and a new phase came with the emergence of the rising power of the Popular Mobilization Militia to be at the forefront to achieve the goals of the ruling authorities Taiz, the distant and visible city, and hiding behind it, as was the case with terrorist organizations in the past years until 2018. The Popular Mobilization militia began the first chapters of the stage of crimes and abuses, which began in March - April 2019 when storming the Old City after its siege, as the Popular Mobilization Forces took over the tasks of the storming operation with the participation of factions from the 22nd Mica Brigade and members of Hasm Brigades and presented human rights for serious crimes, forced displacement and damage to homes City The Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) set out to implement the tasks assigned to it and imposed its military and security domination over the city of Taiz since its emergence at the beginning of 2019, as its members wore military uniforms and used security forces vehicles in the city and acted as government forces not committed to the law, and the number of murders and liquidations has increased and included human rights activists and media figures Businessmen and dissidents, events and acts of violence continued at a high rate, as well as confiscated a number of citizens' homes and seized public and private lands. The Popular Mobilization Forces did not hesitate to storm hospitals to pursue their victims and kill them, as was the case with the victim: Mohammad Saeed Naji Al-Husami, who was killed inside Al-Thawra General Hospital on the date 13 January, 2020 The victim: Mohammad al-Maghribi, who was murdered in Al-Rawda Hospital and wounded on 1 November, 2020. Among the moral crimes, there are weak and poor families that have been subjected to moral blackmail that has not been disclosed due to customs and traditions, as well as the fear of retaliation.

21

And in the same context for the criminal acts that accompanied the expansion of the popular crowd on all areas and cities of Al-Hujaria, which is one of the goals that the Islah party sought to seize control over the entire Taiz governorate, starting with the old city in March 2019, where the direction of the popular crowd was towards the city of Education as the most important cities and centers Al-Hajriya and the only outlet for Taiz governorate towards the south and the western coast, and among the measures taken by the Islah party, the first step was to change the director of Al-Turbah City Security, Mr. Abdul Karim Al-Sama'i, and replace him with another director affiliated with him to clear the way for outlaw and terrorist elements to cause chaos and fabricate confrontations Armed with the soldiers of the 35th Armored Brigade to create security imbalances in the city, as events and escalations continued in this way from chaos until December 2019, which witnessed the assassination of Brigadier General / Adnan Al Hammadi, commander of the 35th Armored Brigade. Initial investigations related to the assassination of Brigadier General Al Hammadi indicated that some of the leaders of the party were accused Islah planned to assassinate him, including: (Zia Al-Haq Al-Sami'i), according to the media at the time. At the beginning of the year 2020, the creation of the checkpoints and checkpoints began in Al Hajriyah districts and the elements of the Popular Mobilization Forces climbed the tops of the mountains and stationed in them, in addition to working on the dismantling of the 35 Armored Brigade and pursuing its military leaders and besieging their homes in the period prior to the final termination of the 35 Armored Brigade in the military concept in August 2020, which It was an obstacle to the goals of the Islah party, and the 35th Armored Brigade, through what it was doing, is the only military sector in Taiz Governorate that works within the framework of the legitimate government and the Arab coalition according to the decisions issued by the UN Security Council that granted the legitimate right to work to end the coup. It is a different picture of the Islah party, which is working towards the liberated regions and governorates in favor of the coups, and this is one of the most important facts on the ground. In July 2020, the Popular Mobilization Forces began constructing informal training camps in the districts of Al- Shamayatayn - Al-Ma`fer - Al-Mawaset, with the escalation of armed attacks on civilians and the seizure of private and public lands despite the protests of the people of Al-Hujaria, who rejected the presence of the Popular Mobilization Militia in Al-Hujariah areas and cities. Those protests are acts of violence and repression against civilians, protesting and opposition, practiced by the Popular Mobilization Forces, and serious crimes have been committed against the sons of the military leaders of the 35th Armored Brigade. Among the worst and most severe crimes are the crime that the son of Mr. Abdul Hakim Mahyoub Al-Jabzi, Director of Operations of the 35th Armored Brigade, the victim, Doctor: Aseel Abdel Haykam Mahyoub Al-Jabzi, 24 years old, on 21 August, 2020, the son of Mr. Walid Abdel-Rahman Al-Dhabhani, Director of Training of the 35th Armored Brigade, the university victim: Habib Walid Al-Dhabhani, was exposed to the crime of premeditated murder on18 July, 2020, as well as the premeditated murder that the victim was exposed to, the pharmacist: Wajdi Yassin Farea Al-Masni on 10 October 2020, which is one of the crimes committed against civilians by the Popular Mobilization Militia in the city of Al-Turbah, Al- Shamayatayn District and the area of Al-Jabziyya in the Al-Maafer district, which was reached by the team of Haq's organization, in addition to the fabricated security chaos crimes.

Investigative information For field survey One of the main concepts of the human rights operation requires an active approach to collecting information through field searches to identify human rights problems and the main goal of monitoring is to reinforce the state’s responsibility to protect human rights and public and private property and to address outlaws to prevent more serious crimes and all violations, as it should be. Human rights are present at all levels of society, and the process of collecting information requires a great and more effective effort through accurate methods to collect accurate information that touches facts for research, follow-up and comprehensive analysis. Sound information is essential for preparing well-documented reports to be used to encourage the official authorities to take their actions within the framework of recommendations. And warnings of potential risks and imminent dangers.

22

In the past periods, Haq has worked in Taiz Governorate to monitor and document violations of human rights, including serious crimes of all kinds, and to monitor public and private facilities that the de facto authorities and their extremist organizations have transformed into private prisons. The organization issued its reports and held press conferences to publicize them in front of the media, public opinion and the organization. Haq is preparing its report on the grave crimes committed against civilians in the Al- Hujariah area in Taiz and about the creation of informal training camps run by militias operating outside the law affiliated with the Islah party, with funding from the State of Qatar through its agent in Taiz Governorate, the General Supervisor of the Popular Mobilization Forces, Hammoud Saeed Al-Mikhlafi, residing in Turkey.

FIELD VISIT PROGRAM:

International human rights standards are the main reference and have priority over domestic standards. They also establish legal obligations for governments, while providing the basis for government authorities' demands to protect and respect human rights. The failure of the Yemeni government authorities to fulfill their moral and legal responsibilities since the first moments of committing the grave crimes carried out by the Popular Mobilization Militia, which left dozens of innocent civilians dead and wounded, in taking decisive steps to conduct investigations and subject the perpetrators to criminal accountability and justice, and the Popular Mobilization Militias are still practicing more Among the criminal acts against civilians in a variety of ways outside the framework of the law and its continuation of this hostile approach to this day.

From the date of December 23, 2020 until January 30, 2021 is the time period for the field survey of Haq's work team, which included several regions and cities located along the geography of the Al-Hujariah area in the southeast of the city of Taiz, the governorate center, to stand in front of the reality of human rights. Considering the Al-Hujariah region is considered one of the troubled areas since the second half of the year 2020 until this moment, where chaos prevailed in most of its areas, which led to violations of international human rights and humanitarian law, with the escalation of the prosecutions of civilians by armed groups without legal basis, the Popular Mobilization Militia . During the forty-day period of the integrated field survey, Haq worked in a realistic and professional manner to touch the facts, stand before the details of the crimes committed, collect and verify field information, complete questionnaires related to the dead victims, conduct interviews with witnesses and victims' families, visit hospitals, and keep medical records in accordance with international human rights standards. Willful extrajudicial murders

Arbitrary Execution: An arbitrary execution is the killing of a person by a state agent or any other person who works under the authority of the government, colluding with them, or condoning their actions, but without any judicial process or without an appropriate judicial process. Executions as a result of a death sentence issued by a court are also arbitrary executions if the guarantees of a fair trial stipulated in Articles (14 and 15) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and Articles (7 - 48 - 49 - 154) of the Yemeni Constitution are not respected. We are in front of the details of a public opinion crime, which is considered one of the grave and serious crimes in which the type of crime and the means of its execution varied, through which the victim is exposed to cases of physical and psychological torture and the criminal act against the victim is punished for criminal acts with absolute brutality at close intervals preceding the end of the bloody criminal act by the loss of the victim's soul Through the crime of arbitrary extrajudicial execution, it bore the hallmarks of sadistic pleasure in torture and attempting crime together professionally. 23

Mr. Abdul Hakim Mahyoub Al-Jabzi, the father of the victim, Aseel, said: At the end of Friday evening, the gunmen took the doctor Aseel Abdel Hakim Al-Jabzi from the house of Ahmed Abdullah Ahmed Saad tied with two ghutas (Ghutrah: is a garment that is placed on the shoulder or on the head in Arab areas) after torturing him and cutting parts of his body next to The well is in the liquid (the stream of rain torrents) to crucify him on wooden boards and torture him and execute him in the liquid with several bullets by a group of gunmen, including Ahmed Zangla, Abdul Raqeeb Ali Saif, Abdul Hafiz Mohammad Saif, Antar Abdul Latif Hael, Mohammad Abdel Wahab Abdel Rahman, Rashid Mohammad Saif and Ammar Abdul Raqeeb Ali Saif, Mohammad Abdul Raqeeb Ali Saif, Amer Mohammad Saif, Hamza Ahmed Ali, Abdul Karim Mohammad Saif and others to leave his body there, and on Saturday morning people found Aseel Abdel Hakim Al-Jabzi in the liquid next to the well tied and killed and his body had been mutilated and mutilated, and I did not know about that Except around ten in the morning on Saturday, 22 August, 2020, despite the fact that the understandings on the delivery and receipt of the 35th Armored Brigade were in place and they have been progressed. On Saturday afternoon, a car was sent to transport the body of the deceased martyr Aseel to the refrigerator of Khalifa Hospital in the soil. And since the situation was heinous, immoral and unjustified by law and custom, from targeting my home, encroaching on the sanctities of homes, besieging my family, terrorizing women and children, kidnapping and abuse of the son of the original doctor and executing him, we have been waiting for a responsible and ethical position for the leadership of the brigade and the leadership of the Axis and all concerned parties at least as a matter of washing their hands from the crime tainted by and they were the ones standing behind it with the intention of undermining our personalities and our positions. On the afternoon of Wednesday, 26 August, 2020, around one o'clock in the afternoon, a security campaign came out on the basis that it would arrest those accused of killing Aseel, but people were repelled that those accused of killing Aseel's son worked as guides to the original house, and the campaign broke into Aseel's house and broke the door of the house and broke the cupboards for clothes and books and tampering with the contents Home and loot what's inside. Whereas I am still homeless in one place, my family is homeless in other places, my brothers and their families are still homeless, the rest of the children, women and the elderly are still horrific and in a catastrophic humanitarian situation, and the proliferation of armed men and terror groups affiliated with the terrorist mobilization continues to cause terror and disturb the tranquility in the region and the neighboring regions, and crimes are committed in various directorates of the governorate that are under the control of legitimacy. In a state of crudeness, the concerned authorities at home are still covering these crimes and their

perpetrators. Therefore, we assert the ineligibility of the various parties that are connected with the tools and perpetrators of these overlapping and compound crimes, in order to place them in front of the justice of all humanitarian and international actors.

Irreguale Training camps Belong to Popular Mobilization

The city of Al-Turbah swept protest demonstrations called by political parties in Al-Hajriyah area southeast of Taiz city in July 2020. Among the demonstrators 'demands were their adherence to state institutions and their call for the Yemeni president to direct the removal of the military innovations and the departure of the Islah Party forces (Popular Mobilization Militias) from their areas. The demonstrators' statement also demanded the Yemeni presidency to investigate With all the parties involved in establishing informal training camps for militias operating outside the framework of the legitimate forces and pursuing foreign agendas hostile to legitimacy, in reference to the State of Qatar, the protesters also denounced the crimes committed by the Popular Mobilization Militia against civilians, which these abuses are still continuing.

Various local and Arab media outlets have recently published, citing Yemeni military sources, expressing their concerns about the growing Qatari role in Taiz Governorate in particular, following the construction of additional training camps in the Al- Hujariah area after its fall in August 2020 under the control of the Popular Mobilization Militia, due to its strategic importance that overlooks its mountainous heights. On the port of Mokha and the Strait of Bab Al-Mandab, which is located on the borders with southern Yemen, the sources added that Doha has begun to equip the fourth camp in the (Rasen) area with the geography of the Al- Hujariah area in the depth of the heights overlooking the western coast, months after the completion of the construction of 3 other camps, namely: Camp (Al-Sunnah) and (Al-Fawada) and (Yvers) funded by the State of Qatar through its agent General Supervisor of the Popular Mobilization Militia Hammoud Saeed Al-Mikhlafi, the de facto leader of the training camps outside the legitimacy and the Arab coalition forces, and the sources revealed what they called the poisoned scheme of the State of Qatar to transfer experts, trainers and mercenary fighters working by proxy for the benefit of Turkey to camps it runs in Taiz governorate as part of an agenda based on attracting thousands of young men and soldiers in the Yemeni army to its training camps In exchange for huge sums of money with facilities from Brotherhood leaders to form parallel military forces in Yemen, seeking to activate its agenda with Turkey in a Brotherhood plot in the south and Bab Al-Mandab. Many Yemenis in Taiz are demanding to rectify the matter and thwart Qatari plans to expand its militia camps hostile to Yemen and the South in particular and the Arab coalition countries and the region in general, according to those sources.

Recruitment Members of the Popular Mobilization Militia are being recruited on partisan terms, with a special focus on the children of those close to the leaders of the Islah party, and on the recommendations of the party leadership in the district areas, according to information monitored by Haq. The training focuses on qualifying the trainees in safe and combat skills, on regular movement, incursions, street warfare, storming houses, raiding, arts, crawling skills, and the task of storming and protecting facilities, which indicates that the Popular Mobilization Militia’s mission will be to control in favor of the Islah Party over the liberated areas. In addition, the trainees undergo intensive lectures as part of a brainwashing program that is limited to incitement lectures, as the jihadist chants of extremist religious groups and the enthusiastic chants of armed resistance movements, such as Hamas and other extremist groups, are neglected during the training period. At the end of each session, the elements of the batch are distributed to the army camps of the Islah party, selecting 3 of the trainees' most loyal and loyal to the Islah party, and giving them military numbers instead of individuals in the ideological army whose military numbers were withdrawn in order to encourage the trainees to show their loyalty and partisan devotion and convince them of the legitimacy of the popular crowd. ------Forged recruitment forms to be distributed to youths and children in Al-Hujaria areas To convince them to recruit for the PMF outside the law

Extrajudicial Executions

Investigate cases of arbitrary executions

The United Nations Principles for the Effective Prevention and Investigation of Extrajudicial Executions, Arbitrary Executions, and Extrajudicial Executions contain important guidance for states and human rights protection workers. The principles are presented under three headings: Prevention, investigation, and legal procedures. In accordance with principle (1), governments prohibit by law all extrajudicial and arbitrary executions, and ensure that these operations are considered crimes under their criminal laws, punishable by appropriate penalties that take into account their gravity, and the principles reaffirm the government's duty to investigate all cases of arbitrary and extrajudicial executions.

Articles of international treaties and instruments, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, have agreed: -

- That no exceptional circumstances whatsoever, whether these circumstances are in a state of war, a threat of war, internal political instability, or any other public emergency, may not be invoked as a justification for criminal acts.

- In May 1989, the Economic and Social Council recommended to states the principles of effective prevention and investigation of extrajudicial, arbitrary and summary executions. These principles provide guidance to law enforcement and other national authorities on preventing and investigating these crimes and on the legal procedures for bringing the perpetrators of these acts to justice. These principles stress the importance of ensuring close control, including clarity of chain of command, over law enforcement agencies as well as accurate records, searches and notification of families and legal representatives in connection with detention. It also requires the protection of witnesses and family members of victims and the meticulous collection and study of relevant evidence. The principles contain essential details of the provisions of human rights treaties that guarantee the right to life. ______HAQ'S INVESTIGATIONS:

We review the crimes of arbitrary extrajudicial executions For a number of civilian victims, in a series of executions Since 2015, the escalation continues, most recently in August 2020.

The armed attacks in their early stages of 2015 on the city of Taiz by the (Houthi-Saleh) coalition led to the widening of the circle of chaos at a high rate with an escalating presence of armed factions of various names and the displacement of thousands of people as a result of the continuous bombing operations with heavy weapons launched by the Houthi militia and their allies on the neighborhoods. Residential housing inhabited by civilians with ferocious randomness forced its residents to leave for safe areas in various directions inside and outside the governorate in difficult humanitarian images, accompanied by crackdowns inside the city that subjected thousands of civilians to arbitrary arrests and executions during detention carried out by the Islah militia and extremist organizations through the security squares that control In the city, serious transgressions constituted a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law. Cases of suspicion, suspicion and apprehension led to the hysteria of death cruel and randomly maliciously in the first three years of the war, dominated the mental abilities of those in control of the security squares in the city until

49

Suspicion became a behavior they had in dealing with others, determining their fate through it, and arbitrary deprivation of life. Once suspected, crimes were committed against innocent civilians who were subjected to field executions away from the judiciary and the law.

4 Tracks Of Arbitrary Executions

We are facing four paths of arbitrary extrajudicial executions preceded by kidnappings of civilian victims who are targeted by these crimes in the early stages of the invasion of Taiz by the (Houthi - Saleh) coalition in March 2015 and the emergence of these practices of kidnappings and field executions a month later April 2015.

In addition, there is no consistent statistics for these executions due to the severity of the repression and the threat that is practiced on the families of the victims who cannot speak or report them due to the lack of legal authorities to protect them, as is the case with the families of victims of kidnapping, enforced disappearance and victims of other crimes, and in return, numbers of these crimes were recorded through Monitoring and field research of independent activists and research and statistics centers interested in human rights, where they reached preliminary and infinite statistics until 2017, while the execution statistics reached hundreds, of which 120 executions were recorded, while the acts of kidnapping and arbitrary detention reached thousands, which are not final and fixed, and 2700 cases were recorded.

The research procedures and field information of Haq organization during its field survey in Taiz confirmed that the actual executions coincided with the emergence of the Islah party fighters under the cover of Ansar Al- Sharia in the city, as well as the emergence of militant Salafi groups under the name (Hama al-Aqeedah) led by Salafi Sadiq Mahyoub, known as Abu Al-Saduq was recently disposed of and was assassinated on 16/6/2020, while the Hasm Brigades had not expanded their influence at that stage from May 2015, but they participated in the execution of executions later alongside the reformists, Ansar Al-Sharia and Hamat Al-Aqeedah, all of which are considered an integrated system. Executions crimes are carried out according to four tracks, including the mass executions that take place after the storming and raiding of homes, and the arrest of those targeted for executions in residential neighborhoods after their liberation or withdrawal from them by the coup d'état, as well as the executions that took place inside the basements of irregular detention centers, and there are field executions that were carried out on the front lines, including the front Jabal Al-Jarra is on the northern side of the city center and open places designated for executions are on the northern side of the city center, the most prominent of which is the stream (Saila Asifra) as a scene of the execution crimes, that place that the people of Taiz city know well, especially the families of the kidnapped victims with great anticipation. Individuals and mass executions, which peaked from June 2015 and continued until late 2016, with a decrease and decline in their percentage inside the city after 2016 compared to 2015 and 2016, it was revealed through collecting field information from the city’s residents and civil society activists and the absence of the appearance of the bodies dumped for the victims in the city’s streets. Asifera in large numbers, as was the case in 2015 and 2016, except for intermittent cases that lasted until mid-2019, with the increase in the number of kidnappings for the year 2016, while in 2017, open executions were not recorded and the percentage of kidnappings decreased with the emergence of assassinations in the city, as the city witnessed at the end In 2018 and early 2019, mass graves in a number of places and residential neighborhoods confirm the crimes of mass executions of those who were kidnapped in previous periods.

(Saila Asifra), specifically the area of it in which the execution procedures were carried out in the security square, is under the control of the Islah party militia and its allies, and one of the most famous prisons of the Islah party is located next door to the prison (Al-Nahda School). Al-Saeed, which is a group affiliated with the hardline Salafi, known as Abu (Al-Saduq), who was loyal to the Muslim Brotherhood (Al-Islah) and was close to the former resistance leader Mahmoud Saeed Al-Mikhlafi (200 square meters is the geographical area of the three places located inside the aforementioned security square).

And when we asked him whether his victim brother had a certain political affiliation or enmity with others? In response, saying: He has no political affiliation at all, and he does not have any enmities with others, and what he used to do was his constant criticism of the actions of the militants in the neighborhood and the robberies that take place.

The victim's brother added that, a week after the execution of his sister, there was a crime of assassinating the victim / Issam Abdullah Mahyoub, the owner of a candy store. He had five bullets that killed him instantly, and information indicates that the assassinated victim was suffering from psychological conditions and was declared at times as a Shiite.

The victim / Naguib Naji Mohammad Al-Hanash:

We are in front of the details of the extrajudicial execution crime committed against the victim / Najib Naji Al- Hanash, a resident of the Old City, who lives in the Al-Sawani neighborhood. Who did not commit a sin or a crime, but simply because he was a simple civilian and from the severe suffering of the three stages that accompanied him for only three hours, interspersed with serious violations and abuses before he was arbitrarily deprived of life at the hands of armed groups operating outside the law and with the support of security personnel who contributed to their participation in this crime . Among these violations was the armed assault on him in front of his house and his correction with a bullet point, with the intention of killing him at eight o'clock in the morning.

Secondly, he was pursued to the hospital to prevent him from receiving a medical examination. Their attempt did not succeed, but they succeeded in hiding him for an hour inside the hospital with the support of the security men. Thirdly, he was kidnapped from the hospital and taken by force of arms to the area of execution of field executions (Saila Asifra) known since 2015, and the execution was carried out against him after he was subjected to torture, as stated in the medical reports and the testimony of witnesses whose names and addresses are kept secret by Haq. What the victim / Naguib Al-Hanash has been exposed to as a result of the wrong intellectual behaviors and mobilization that lead to extremism and terrorism, and what Haq sees through the details of the crimes as a result of the armed attacks on the Old City in March - April 2019, which bear the hostile sectarian character, the continuity of the new militia body under the name (The Popular Mobilization Forces) is the real threat to civil society in Taiz. Details of the execution process: The victim's brother / Naguib Naji Mohammad al-Hanash, a 40-year-old married with three children (two sons and a daughter), who was subjected to an extrajudicial execution on 23/3/2019, told Haq: On the date of 19/3/2019, armed elements wearing civilian clothes attacked a number of neighborhoods in the Old City and the adjacent neighborhoods under the pretext of searching for wanted security personnel and attacked the Old City with various types of medium and light weapons, and among the lanes that were attacked our neighborhood (Al-Sawani neighborhood below the Cairo Citadel from The eastern side) even though our neighborhood is quiet and there were no wanted men or any armed men affiliated with any particular party. Four days after the start of the security campaign, that is, on 23/3/2019, some of these armed elements entered our neighborhood and spread to the entrances to the neighborhood My brother is in his modest grocery store to sell vegetables and fruits. It is located at the bottom of our house, which consists of three floors. Which he wanted to go up to the house that day at eight in the morning and he was accompanied by his son (Saqr), aged 11 years, to eat breakfast. Gunmen who were present at the time on the other sidewalk opposite his grocery store called him, and they were four people wearing civilian clothes and masked and asked him not to go up to the house, and at that time a quarrels occurred between him and them which ended with the firing of bullets at him by one of the gunmen with a Kalashnikov weapon three bullets hit him on the left side of his body Under the armpit, I left the right side, and the distance between my brother who was near the door of the house and the gunmen who shot him was about 10 meters, then my brother went up to the house with great difficulty as a result of his gunshot wound, as the gunmen wanted to follow him to the house and upon his arrival to the role the second was that everyone who was inside the house, my wife, his wife, and our children saw blood flowing from the area of the injury on the left side of his body, then he fell on the floor of the hall, and at that time the voices were shouting and shouting (They killed Najib ... they killed Najib) By the women and children, and some of them fainted, and the children were dumbfounded and terrified, their voices loudened in tears, terrified by the bloody scene, and his wife was screaming and screaming from the window of the house so that the residents of the neighborhood could hear her repeating, they killed Najib, and in those moments the gunmen left the neighborhood after they saw the residents of our neighborhood coming to our house to see what happened . The time was at that time at eight o'clock in the morning and a first aid operation began with three people from our neighborhood to the Republican Hospital and upon their arrival to the hospital, the doctors working there apologized for providing urgent medical assistance to him under the pretext of the lack of medical capabilities, and this may have been for other reasons and my brother was in a state of bleeding Then, he was transferred to Al-Thawra Hospital and they arrived at nine o'clock in the morning, and they entered the emergency department, and doctors began to provide first aid, bandage his wounds and stop the bleeding. About twenty minutes later, the emergency department was stormed by six security men wearing military uniforms and asked the doctors not to treat him under the pretext that he was a sniper and was affiliated with the Abu al-Abbas Brigades and other charges, and my brother answered them that he was the owner of a modest grocery store in which he sold vegetables and fruits and had nothing to do with anyone, and he told them. That he never carried a weapon in his life, and after that they tried to kidnap him, but their attempt was unsuccessful due to the intervention of some doctors and emergency department staff in the hospital and they asked them to leave the emergency department and after they were discharged from the department they waited in the corridor of the hospital, and one of the doctors asked my brother's companions

He was transferred to the radiology department on the second floor of the hospital to make x-rays for him. He also informed them all that he would perform surgery on my brother after examining the x-ray image, and after he was transferred to the radiology department, the security men who had quarrels with him in the emergency department kidnapped him from the radiology department. The hospital after hearing that the security men were looking for them and after my brother disappeared from the radiology department, the second escort was locked up in one of the hospital rooms by the security men and the third of the escorts caught him and took him outside the hospital towards the Asifra area and threatened him with physical liquidation if he did not testify against my brother that he was one The snipers of the Abu al-Abbas Brigades and when he told them that he was unable to do so and that my brother Najib was a simple citizen and had no connection to anyone or to a specific party at that time the security men wanted to liquidate him, but they retreated and shot him in tatters and accused him also of being one of the Abu Al-Abas Brigades sniper A blow and they threw him in a street and left him bleeding from the effects of the beating, and some passers-by in the street drove him to his home. As for my brother, after he was hidden in the hospital by the security men, a white Hilux car was brought to the hospital with posters of the dead Abdullah Muqbel Al-Mikhlafi (cousin of the reformist leader Major General Sadiq Sarhan, commander of the 22nd Mika Brigade) Who was killed on 18/3/2019 was one of the justifications for the armed attacks on the Old City. About 5 to 7 armed men wearing civilian clothes and masked were on board, according to witness testimony, and they entered the hospital and kidnapped my brother, who was undergoing medical assistance before he was done He was hidden by the security men inside the hospital, and he was kidnapped in front of the view and hearing of the hospital staff and citizens and guarding the hospital, and he was taken outside the hospital and they were kicking him with their legs and insulting him until they drove him by force and got him in the back of the car and drove him to the Asifra area next to the Al- Saeed Mosque, which is 300 meters from the hospital. Almost there, they tortured him severely in front of the sight and hearing of many passers-by and residents in that area and continued to hit him alongside insults and insults, where they fired four shots from his Kalashnikov weapon, two shots in the back area of his body and one of the bullets in his head, which came out of his left eye and another shot She resided in his stomach, and upon an autopsy, this bullet was found stable inside the abdomen, in addition to the fifth bullet that he was subjected to at his home at the beginning of the unjust assault on him. And that was the first shot, which is the beginning, in addition to the wounds and bruises spread over his entire body from the effects of torture that he suffered before his execution and after he was completely finished, they threw his body in Al- Saila (Saila Asifra). Between the hours of ten and eleven in the morning on Saturday, corresponding to 23/3/2019. ______Victim: Fuad Abdullah Ahmad Othman Al-Meliki Age: (25 years), a resident of , moved to Taiz governorate in 2015 and joined Hasm brigades and enrolled in them and became the bodyguard of the brigade commander (Adnan Raziq) and then a financial official for these brigades. Hasm Brigades executed him on 25 March, 2017 in the Bir Basha district of the governorate Taiz after a trial that lasted only 3 hours according to the statements of the Brigades Staff (Ammar Al-Jundabi) by a special court for the Brigades (after 2015, there are special courts in the city of terrorist organizations that have replaced government courts that are administered by legitimate judges belonging to these organizations who take government and private facilities as headquarters To these courts) where charges were brought against al-Maliki for the assassination of the armed forces official in the brigades, Colonel Nasser Ali Al-Qabati (a colonel who was working in Sana'a in the maintenance corps of the First Armored Division of Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar) who was assassinated on the same day of Fouad Al-Maliki’s execution. After the extrajudicial execution a few days later in the beginning of April 2017, the commander of the Hasm Brigades (Adnan Ruzaiq), the agent of Taiz governorate, Arif Jamal, and the parliamentary member of the Reform Party Abdullah Al-Adini (the mufti of the terrorist organizations in the governorate) and Brigadier

Mohammad Al-Mahmoudi, deputy director of Aman Taiz, and Abdo Hammoud Al-Sagheer (leading In the Islah-affiliated Popular Mobilization Forces in Taiz), visiting the al-Maliki family and conducting their arbitration as a result of the mistake that occurred in the execution of their son, according to two statements led by the brigades and personalities that were banned for martial arbitration. The moments of the execution of the field execution against the victim: Fouad Al-Maliki In the Bir Basha area of Taiz city in mares 2017 by Hasm Brigades Affiliate of the Islah party that operates outside the law.

Field executions after the liberation of residential neighborhoods The victim / Abdullah Abdul Jalil Al Hammadi 18 years old / student The father of the young victim / Abdullah Abdul-Jalil Al-Hammadi lives in the neighborhood behind the governorate building, saying that on the day the control over the area in which the governorate building is located next to our residential neighborhood on the eastern side of the city center, an area that was under the control of the Houthi militia, after the armed confrontations was completed It was expelled from that area on15 August, 2015, and the taking over on the governorate building and the surrounding neighborhoods. On that day, measures were taken by the party that took control of the governorate building. Including the arrests, raids on the homes of those living in those neighborhoods, and the acts of kidnapping, and my son was one of the victims of those arbitrary arrests that were carried out in a random and malicious manner. The victim's father adds that he had received the news of his son’s execution among other young men from the region who were arrested in those raids, as mass executions were carried out against them on the second day of their accidentally arrested on 16 August, 2015, all of which took place in the (Saila Asifra) site. The victim's father also stated that he had received the news of the execution of his son after the mass burial procedures of the victims were carried out by a group of people of the city who found their bodies in Al-Sa'ila, as people used to see the bodies of the execution victims at intermittent periods when they passed by the questioner. Returning to the father of the victim, who did not indicate the party that arrested his son from his home and carried out the execution crime in it, and this was in the context of the questions that were asked to him, the most important of which was knowing the party responsible for the crime of executing his son and other young men from the neighborhood. But he did not answer this question due to the consequences that he would be exposed to later if he referred to it or named it, but he confirmed with others from the neighborhood that the party that carried out the house raids and arrests and carried out the mass executions is the same party that controlled the area at that time. On August 15, 2015, and regarding the question related to the reasons that led to the arrests and mass executions against the victims, he replied: This is due to the malicious accusations of his son and other young men that they were dealing (qat) with Houthi militia members during their control of the governorate building at that time, he also indicated that these accusations are information and malicious statements issued by some members of the neighborhood who are ideologically made and belong to that party, and in the same context the organization believes that these perverted informants are informants that have no legal basis for their statements nor for the party that carried out these crimes, which is considered His lack of legal legitimacy as armed groups operating outside the law committed serious criminal acts outside the framework of the law. After verifying, gathering information and asking questions through interviews conducted by the organization related to the armed confrontations that took place at the time in the vicinity of the governorate building on that aforementioned date and the subsequent arrests and executions against the victims, it became clear that the armed groups that took control of the governorate building on 15 August, 2015 M. was one of the Islah Party fighters who were still present in that region until the moment and with reference to the area in which these executions were carried out (Saila Asifra), including the execution of the young victim / Abdullah Al- Hammadi, 18 years old. The hardliners, and this is considered as a direct and explicit accusation directed against the Islah Party and its allies of committing all the aforementioned crimes and holding them fully responsible for them and for the security chaos and violations of all kinds that the rights of the human being in Taiz and its environs, according to the facts and based on documented evidence, including prosecution witnesses, all of which are preserved by Haq Org..

Executions in detention centers and private prisons: The former detainee (i-y-o) from the city of Taiz, who is currently undergoing psychological treatment, says, I was among the civilian detainees in the detention center (the Central Agency for Control and Accountancy building) controlled by the Islah militia, where my terrifying period of detention was in the second half of a year. 2015, I did not understand my presence in this place without convincing reasons or justifications. I deserved the psychological harm that has befallen me until now and turned my life into a terrible nightmare and what I was exposed to inside that frightening prison was the main reason for my bad psychological suffering that I am currently going through as a result of the acts of torture that have been practiced. Most of them are psychological torture used in brutal and cruel methods without mercy. I cannot explain the methods of torture accurately and easily by a group experienced in killing and criminality against us. We also cannot describe them as human beings at all. Their hearts are cruel, full of hatred and diseases, and devoid of humanity. The most painful psychological torture that I have been subjected to is the constant threat of killing and waving knives in Tara as a means of slaughtering and passing them over the neck area in a frightening way repeatedly to force us to talk about things that are not We know nothing about it at all, just as there are other methods of torture that are less severe than these methods referred to, all of which led to our breakdown and destruction from the inside and weakened our psychological and moral capabilities. In the context of the ongoing pattern of psychological torture at the time. He says: One night while I was in the detention room alone at that time, I was in a moment of my mind wandering, which are conditions that are inherent in all the arrested victims. Suddenly, three people from the prison personnel entered my room accompanied by one of the detained victims. He was taken out of the room immediately, and the process of his execution did not take only a few minutes without any talk from them and they did not utter a single word, and it is the only time that I witnessed executions carried out near me and in my place of detention in this provocative manner, which is considered one of the cruel methods of cases of psychological torture, which caused I had a state of fatigue and doubled my psychological pain. Among the other exciting scenes that were repeated many times, and in the first days of my detention, I was looking out of the window of the room in which I was calmly and cautiously, and I was watching people carry out digging operations in the courtyard of the National Institute detention center next to the building of the prison in which we are in, and the digging operations were in the form of graves Collective as the excavations were very close to my place, what prompted me to say that they are mass graves is the same period in which I witnessed the wave of random executions as a result of the unrest that the city witnessed at the beginning of the war on the city of Taiz. In confirmation of what was stated in the testimony of the former detainee, the victim (i-y-o) about mass graves, and through the organization's communication and its meetings with various parties in the city of Taiz, a government source that the organization The yard of the National Institute maintains in its name and description for security considerations indicated that the where the excavations of the building of the water institution, which is located on the eastern side of the city mass graves took place center has taken place in and around it, mass burials of victims of field executions.

55

Where the source specified the time period for the burials in those mass graves as it was in the first stage of the war in 2015, which is the period during which the executions took place in a large proportion in the city, and I have collected and confirmed the information received by the organization by the families of the victims and from other sources. Field executions on the front lines: Many civilians were subjected to crimes of arbitrary field executions in places where military actions are taking place (battle fronts) in which they were not participating. They were forced to come to them against their will. After they were kidnapped from their areas of residence in the city, executions were carried out upon their arrival at the front line by firing live bullets at them by the authorities Responsible for the front we are dealing with. Jabal Al-Jarra front is located on the northern side of the city center of Taiz and is not more than three kilometers away from it. Jabal al-Jarra overlooks Wadi Al-Qadi and Al-Mufash’s neighborhood, where battles took place at different times, and are run by military forces affiliated with the 22 Mika Brigade, fighters from the Islah party and elements of the resistance. Popular. In late 2015 and early 2016, that front witnessed more fierce battles, as well as in the villages and nearby areas that are located on the outskirts of the city, such as the adjacent Zinuj Mountain and the Al-Esh area. This field information came to us by one of the fighters participating in the Jabal Al-Jarra front at that time called (A - sh - o) who did not belong to any political party and was not a military one but a normal citizen like other citizens who went out to defend their city based on the legitimate right to defend themselves from armed attacks by the Houthi militia and their allies (Saleh’s forces). That he was present at Jabal Al-Jarra front in the second half of 2015. He witnessed cases of extrajudicial field executions at different times while he was at the front, and he witnessed those crimes that were carried out by firing bullets at the victims with Kalashnikov weapons and aimed at the victims' side in the back. It is also reported that the persons against whom the executions were carried out are civilians who are brought from the city and not from the individuals participating in the front where he is fighting, at the time, he did not know about the reasons for those executions that were carried out against civilian victims by those responsible for the battle front and with his speech with other resistance fighters who in turn informed him that these executions are carried out for those suspected of having relations with the Houthi militia and they are brought to the front for those purposes, he also adds in his testimony that he had seen for the last time before leaving the front site when a young man who lived in the (Republican) neighborhood in the city was brought and the execution crime was carried out against him as soon as he was brought from his home. When asked to colleagues about the reasons for this execution, they told him that this young man who was executed was not a suspect or that he had links with the Houthi militia, but when an armed squad of Islah fighters went to the area where the young victim lives to arrest his older brother and works in The judicial corps (judge), who was concerned with the execution due to the suspicion that he had relations with the Houthi militia, and was not present at the time in his house, so the younger sister was arrested and brought to the front site, and the execution was carried out against him. In the context of his testimony made by the (resistance) in the popular resistance (a-u-p) expressing his indignation at those crimes that took place in front of him, he decided at that time to immediately withdraw from the front and from the resistance in general, and returned to his village, where he remains to this day. This organization keeps more details of those crimes committed against innocent civilians

THE PRINCIPALS OF NOT SLIPPING AWAY FROM PUNISHMENT

- The Yemeni constitution stipulates that there will be no impunity for violations of freedom and personal security, torture, arbitrary arrests and enforced disappearances, making these crimes not subject to the statute of limitation, and other crimes against human rights, in paragraph (f) of Article (48) which states: ( The law determines the punishment for violators

The provisions of any paragraph of this article, arrest, detention or imprisonment is a crime that is not subject to the statute of limitations, and whoever practices it, orders it, or participates in it is punished. - Guarantees for this are provided in Article 51, which states: (Citizens have the right to resort to the judiciary to protect their legitimate rights and interests and have the right to submit complaints, criticisms and proposals to state agencies and institutions, directly or indirectly.

- The prevailing trend in international law was to prevent a policy of impunity for serious violations of physical integrity. The broad trend to combat impunity in international law can be seen in the final document of the World Conference on Human Rights, such as torture from punishment. Thus a solid foundation for the rule of law). - The 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide requires states parties to "punish genocide, whether committed in days of peace or during war.)) Article (1) Pursuant to Article Four of the Convention ((perpetrators of genocide or any of the other acts mentioned in Article Three)) shall be punished, whether they are constitutional rulers.

Genocide clearly contradicts the convention. - Crimes against humanity, such as genocide, are considered international criminal crimes. Article (5) of the principles of international cooperation in the pursuit, arrest, extradition and punishment of persons guilty of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity provides that ((He shall be brought to trial and the persons against whom evidence is established that they are They have committed war crimes or crimes against humanity, and if they are found guilty, they will be punished, as a general rule, in the countries in which they committed these crimes, and in this regard, states shall cooperate in everything related to the extradition of these persons.)) - Under Article (2) of the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, states undertake to guarantee the rights set forth in the covenant for all individuals, and also require states to take the necessary measures, legislative and otherwise, to implement these rights, and the covenant imposes a positive duty on states to take measures for the sake of The implementation of the rights guaranteed by the Covenant, and although the Covenant does not explicitly require states parties to punish violations, the Human Rights Committee has interpreted the Covenant as requiring states to investigate extrajudicial executions, torture and disappearances, and for the persons responsible for them to be brought to justice.

In its General Comment No. (7) on the Covenant (which prohibits torture), the Committee stated that ((I have noticed that some countries have granted a general amnesty in connection with acts of torture, and this general amnesty generally contradicts the duty of states to investigate these acts and to ensure that these acts do not take place. Within its jurisdiction and ensuring that it does not happen in the future)). - The Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment explicitly requires states parties to establish criminal measures to combat torture, and Article (7) of the convention requires states to extradite persons who are alleged to have committed crimes of torture, or (( submit the case to Its competent authorities with the intention of bringing the person to trial.))

- The Declaration on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance stipulates in Article (14) that any persons alleged to be responsible for the occurrence of enforced disappearance shall be referred to the competent authorities (((to file a case and judge them unless they have been delivered to another country that wishes to exercise its jurisdiction ...)). In addition, Article 18 (1) states that “Persons who have committed or are alleged to have committed [enforced disappearances] shall not benefit from any special amnesty law or any other similar procedure that may exempt these persons from any criminal trial or punishment. .)) - The Security Council has strengthened international efforts to ensure that impunity is not allowed for gross violations of 63

human rights by establishing an international court to try persons responsible for committing serious violations of international humanitarian law in the former Yugoslavia since 1991 and the International Criminal Court to try persons responsible for the actions of Genocide and other serious violations of international humanitarian law in the territory of Rwanda.

In light of these two ad hoc tribunals, and based on the experience of the Nuremberg and Tokyo tribunals and the relevant trials after World War II pursuant to the Oversight Council Law No. 10 and a draft of the International Committee

For law, the statute of the International Criminal Court was established under the auspices of the United Nations General Assembly and approved in Rome in July 1998. The conclusion of the treaty establishing the permanent court comes as a step forward on the road to combating impunity and is a clear indication of the international community's willingness to prosecute and punish the perpetrators of gross human rights violations.

- The International Criminal Court has jurisdiction over the following crimes if they are committed after the entry into force of the court's statute - Genocide - Crimes against humanity - War Crimes - Aggression (Article 5 of the Basic Law). The court may exercise its legal jurisdiction with respect to any of the aforementioned acts if it refers a state party or the United Nations Security Council Under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, to the Attorney General in the case in which one or more of those crimes appear to have been committed or if the Attorney General initiated an investigation into this crime.

- The Basic Law also imposes some preconditions on the court's exercise of its jurisdiction (Article 12), and the court may exercise its jurisdiction if one or more of the following countries are parties to the Basic Law or if they have accepted the court's jurisdiction:

- The state in whose territory the crime took place or the state in which the person accused of committing the crime is a citizen. - The Sub-Committee on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities is studying other principles related to impunity in relation to civil and political rights as well as economic, social and cultural rights alike, and may work to expand them.

FINAL NOTES AND RECOMMENDATIONS

First: the Notes

1- The crimes of human rights violations in Taiz governorate have taken multiple specific levels, the most severe of which are the individual and mass arbitrary executions of civilians that are carried out outside the law and without any judicial procedures, which are crimes that are not subject to statute of limitations and have been practiced since 2015 by various formations of terrorist and armed militias. Which operates within an integrated system under the leadership of the Islah Party, which serves as the de facto authority in the areas liberated from the control of the Houthi militia.

2- Haq Organization for Rights and Freedoms confirmed through field visits what was previously reported by the media and the media, reports of local and foreign human rights organizations, and follow-up of human rights activists about the danger of these armed and terrorist militia formations on the lives of civilians and the social fabric of society and civil life due to the nature of its ideological structure related to the political agenda of the Islah Party The Ikhwanji, where the citizen is dealt with on a religious, sectarian and partisan basis, and

64

for this reason, most of the individual and mass executions - according to eyewitnesses - were carried out on the basis of suspicion and suspicion or to sow terror in the hearts of citizens to tighten the grip of these militias and their control over their areas and prevent the presence of any other political or social forces in them and curb Any opinion that is critical or opposing to its actions and practices.
