The Annual Shadow Report on the human rights situation In Yemen during the year 2011.


Prepared by:

Maonah Association for Human Rights and Migration.

In partnership with

The April 27 Organization to Raise Awareness of Democracy.



Summary:
During 2011, the Association has monitored a wide range of complaints concerning human rights violations that occurred in all parts of the country and committed by all parties, mostly those relating to the continuous use of violence and counter violence and lethal and disproportionate force, and prevailing impunity for most of the perpetrators of these violations. Moreover, the increasing armed clashes that arise between the various configurations of the government forces and anti-government militias and armed tribesmen, but the association was unable to obtain accurate figures on the number of people killed or injured. As figures from different sources Varied to a large extent, and did not always distinguish between murder and / or damage among unarmed peaceful demonstrators and other civilians, and combatants from non-state armed militias and government forces.
- most of the data has also been monitored and documented from government sources and some civil society organizations according to which there was killing of a large number of members of the government security during clashes with armed opposition groups in Taiz. Many of the members of the armed forces, paramilitary and police units lost their lives or were seriously injured in the year 2011. Information was also received on the deaths of at least five security officers in Taiz. Some of the bombings and shootings in Aden by members alleged to be supporters of Shari'ah that have also targeted security officials.
- During the year 2011, the use of force and violence, has been large in the context of armed clashes between government forces and militias that followed the armed opposition, and between armed groups of the opposition and government forces and the majority of the victims were unarmed civilians who exercise their right to peaceful assembly. Despite the relative calm of early December 2011 after the adoption of the Agreement on the initiative of the Cooperation Council for the Gulf States, but political, tribal and sectarian tensions increased from what it once was, and most of the indicators confirm the likelihood of Yemen entering a civil war. Large parts of the country, including the entire provinces and large parts of Sanaa and Taiz was apparently partially or entirely controlled by non-state. armed militias. Disturbances and acts of violence and interruptions continue to grow and contribute to the deterioration of the humanitarian situation which is increasing a result of limited access to health services, food, water, fuel, electricity and education. It also stopped the economic activities in many sectors, and many Yemenis have lost their source of livelihood.




- The political situation and developments on the ground
- The Yemeni arena during the year 2011, witnessed the explosion of a political crisis raging between the Congress Party, radiate - 3 - B ruler and its allies and the Joint Meeting Parties and its partners, and the reasons for this crisis was caused by blockage of the political horizon for dialogue between these parties, and for many reasons - most notably the control and the influence of the religious and traditional radical trend on the civil trend in these parties (and particularly within the Islah religious party).
- Under the banner of "Arab spring", during the year 2011 Yemen registered a high record of the commission of all political parties - and to varying degrees - to the events of violence and serious human rights violations.
It may seem natural if we stood at the scale of the crisis experienced by Yemen and its unity and its ramifications that were about to drive Yemen to the furnace-out of a civil war, especially after the split that was created by its army and the tribal split between power and opposition, a suitable ground for this to happen.
- The abnormal is the strong entry of the radical religious factor in the course of the crisis, which is almost - and according to the evidence and proofs – the major cause of the largest and most prominent proportion of the violence and violations of human rights and of direct and indirect crimes, Material and immaterial.
Apart from the details of the daily scene, if the Friday dignity massacre and the crime of bombing the presidency mosque and the control of al-Qaeda on Abyan and the War of Al-Hasaba and the armed clashes in Arhab and Nihm and Taiz, as well as sectarianism confrontations in Sa'ada and Hajja and Al-Jawf, and the fatwas of takfir(advisory opinion of atonement), which affected many of the intellectuals and the media, form a milestones in the Yemeni crisis path or the so-called (the peaceful youth revolution), the common denominator in all of them is the wrong recruitment of religion as a platform for political ends, not least of "power control".
The problem was not limited to the wrong (understanding) of religion, it has exceeded that to other factors pushed toward dealing with religion as a given that can be used as required by the interests and passions, where religion is no longer a criterion to distinguish what is right than wrong, but exploitation of religion, in this case becomes one of the prevail tools in the political or social arena.
- The crimes of violence and sectarian strife Continued in Yemen since the internal formation of the national reconciliation government in the beginning of 2012. the association and human rights organizations in Yemen and the also monitored the occurrence of the 209other killings in the period between September 2011 and to date, and these acts of violence often passed without punishment and without opening a transparent judicial investigation . Despite promises to investigate the operations of illegal abuses and the rest, as the authorities of the Islah party militias - the semi-military - in the protests arena to the knowledge of the Association, did not open any investigation, even in one case of alleged violations committed by members of militias or security or its armed wing inside the protests squares.
- The victims of terrorism crimes - and most of them were Yemenis - who were executed by other Yemenis during the political crisis of Yemen without any trial and outside the context of the law, they were men accused of cooperation with the ruling regime and without being displayed to any judicial authority, such as the terrorist crime that took place on October 25, 2011 m in dropping a Yemeni transport and training aircraft at the Anad airport South Yemen, which led to the killing of 11 pilots, nine of them had the Syrian nationality and two Yemenis during their non-military training task, and the crime of terrorism adopted by the dissident military brigade Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar and his armed militias except that the Yemeni government did not open any investigation until now, although it is a first degree terrorist crime.

- Use of excessive violence by militias of the Islah party - a partner in the government - against members of the GPC - the other partner in the government - and especially those who were working in the security systems managed by the ruling Congress party in Yemen earlier.
- and a matter of concern well increase in events of intermittency, abductions and forced disappearances and illegal detention of civilians as "hostages" and their placement in private and illegal prisons. According to the Maonah Association for Human Rights, the armed militias belonging to the Islah party abused physically to 200 Yemeni men between February and August 2011, which led to breaking feet and arms. And the Maonah Association documented thirtieth cases of attacks on supporters of the Congress Party - a partner in the government and the former ruler - during and after the protests began.

- The attacks made by the Islah party security armed militias against other Yemenis during and after the government extended fighting against Al Qaeda, are considered the worst bouts of the outbreak of internal violence since the takeover of Islah party militias on the peaceful protests. But these types of violence are not new. Maonah Association for Human Rights has already documented similar violations and abuses by the Islah party militias and its allies, including arbitrary arrest "hostage system" and enforced disappearances accompanied by severe beatings and the shooting of civilians and torture, which sometimes led to death.

- And on the other side of the Yemeni conflict; the authorities of the Yemeni government and the ruling party increased the range of repressive measures against members and supporters of Islah party and the opposition Joint Meeting Parties. The period between 28 May and August 28, 2011 m, during which the Yemeni human rights organizations recorded, 31 complaints from members and supporters of Islah party in which they said that they have been subjected to torture by security forces of the government and the ruling party. They also registered one death case of a person during his detention, and arbitrary detention of two journalists from the "Suhail satellite and private television station, which is in favor of the Islah party.

In all these cases, these acts and crimes are considered systematic and blatant violations the Yemeni constitution in effect, which guarantees the right to life, security and physical integrity and the right to equal treatment before the law and the rights of basic due process. It prohibits torture and booking freedoms of citizens and the preparation of private prisons, and other aspects of ill-treatment. And a number of international instruments prohibit these abuses as well, from which the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Convention against torture and other cruel, inhuman or professional treatments. And the Yemeni government officials repeated their promises to respect the standards contained in the agreements. And Islah party as a political party has declared on several occasions and publicly, that they would respect international standards of human rights.
During the monitoring of violations, the Association noted that the "the former" Yemeni government has taken some positive steps. Including the signature of the president "in favor" of the Convention on the initiative of the Gulf States Cooperation Council in Riyadh,
It led to the formation of the transitional and national reconciliation government of all political parties, and paved the way for the presidential elections that was held successfully on 21 February 2012 Abed Rabbo Hadi was elected as the new president of Yemen and the former Yemeni president "Saleh" handed over power peacefully to the new president Hadi in a large official ceremony, and these steps have led to relative calm. The former Yemeni Government "Saleh" has adopted on November 15, November 2011 the decision approving the executive matrix of the Eighteenth Session decision of the Human Rights Council and the recommendations contained in the report of the Evaluation by the high Commission of Human Rights, including the establishment of a national commission to investigate. Moreover, the previous government released the majority of detainees who have a connection with the protests.

However, Yemeni protests in sit-in square continued to follow both sides of the political conflict " reconciliation government Partners " as they call for greater freedoms and an end to corruption, and respect for the rule of law, and the Association monitored violation cases in the protestors where there are still a victim of the excessive and disproportionate use of lethal force in cases which it should not be used. Moreover, all parties have not taken adequate steps to investigate allegations of serious violations of human rights. The first is that the National Commission of investigation has not yet been established.

And the Association has monitored that, in Sanaa, Taiz, armed militias belonging to the opposition continue to bring weapons to public protests areas, which constitutes a threat to the lives of civilians living in access to these areas. The witness’s show that civilians living in or passing through areas controlled by armed opposition groups in Sanaa and Taiz were subjected to routine harassment and intimidation, sometimes attack by members of the rebel armed forces , which lies under the leadership of the armed opposition.

The information pointed to the continuing use of children under the age of 18 years by the security forces and armed opposition groups alike. Children were seen by the Association carrying out security checks and participating in other military activities. The Association also reported information indicating that dozens of civilians are still detained by the government security forces without due process of law, as well as with armed opposition groups that continued to detain dozens of civilians illegally for their sympathy with the government or security personnel.


- The complaints showed that the armed opposition militias continued to mobilize against government officials and offenders in opinion and doctrine in the places of public protests areas. They also noted with concern the recruitment of children on a large scale in the ranks of government and anti-government forces.
- On December 24, 2011 m, the Yemeni government security forces in Sanaa, and people dressed in civilian clothes attacked demonstrators with batons and water cannons and live ammunition, killing at least nine people and injuring dozens. The protesters set off from Taiz, and who were participating in the "the march of life" demonstration.

- On the 29 and 30 May, 2011 m violent clashes began In Taiz between government forces and armed opposition militias, which claims that it has entered Taiz to protect peaceful protesters in the Freedom Square. In response, these militias massed in and around the Freedom Square and took control of most part of the city. This led to a marked increase in violence and counter violence, the government forces using heavy weapons such as mortars and machine guns. anti-government groups responded using machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades to attack government forces, including temporarily using civilian buildings by the troops of both parties, noting that the anti-government militias in Taiz led by Sheikh Hamoud Mikhlafi senior leader of the Islah Party and Brigadier Sadiq Sarhan following dissident Brigade Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar commander of the Armored First Division.

- At the end of December 2011 and upon the signing of the Parties to the Convention on the Gulf initiative and the start of the national consensus stage , the Yemenis were surprised by the protests of the military and civilian staff in ministries and public institutions, as well as rebellions within military units given in all parts of the country (including the airline carrier, national banks and educational facilities) getting expelled by force from their positions and their posts on corruption allegations basis. And dozens of managers and officials were subjected to public humiliation or physical violence,
and most of them no longer had access to their workplaces. The new government has called for an end to such illegal practices, but unable to stop them or to provide protection to the affected people, who because of this process, their rights were ignored.




Monitoring and documenting the attacks against the civil rights

The most prominent attacks on the right to life:

Article (3) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, states that, "Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person," and Article (6) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights provides that "right to life inherent in every human being. And the law protects this right and one may not be arbitrarily deprived of his life. “Therefore, the International Bill of Human Rights in particular, and international legislation for human rights in general, tends to anti-death penalty generally, and in situations that allow the national legislation of the death penalty, the Committee recommends to limit the death penalty. And its application is in the most serious crimes only. Material ( 3) shared between the four Geneva Conventions Prohibits "violence to life and physical integrity, at all times and places, in particular murder of all kinds" against persons not taking active part in an armed conflict not of an international character, and in cases of international armed conflict, the material (50) of the First Geneva Convention, (51) of the Geneva Convention II, (130) of the Third Geneva Convention, and (147) of the Fourth Geneva Convention, all of which prohibit the deliberate killing against protected persons (civilians and prisoners of war and soldiers who laid down their arms), and the article (32) of the Fourth Geneva Convention to the States prohibits to take any measures that would cause "the physical suffering or extermination of protected persons in their custody. We seek in this place of the report to view and analyze human rights violations during the year 2011, which fall under the violations of the right to life, and include murder and assault leading to death and arbitrary executions.
The most important violation aspects of the right to live is represented in the following:
Arbitrary executions: and falls within the cases of arbitrary executions all deaths that occur to detainees in prisons ...
Murder outside the context of the law: and falls within the killings without judicial trial.


Frame number (1) shows examples of some of the worst cases of abuse of the right to life, recorded by the Maonah Association and the April 27 Organization during the year 2011:

- On 18/3/2011 AD more than (53) persons were killed from the peaceful protestors in the neighborhood of the University of Sana'a by gunmen affiliated with the system, and despite the announcement of the security committee for the sit-in square and the dissident - Armored First Division - made arrest warrant for snipers trainees belonging to the government security services who were are the ones that carried out the heinous crime, but we did not actually touch anything from that, since the snipers arrested were not brought to the courts for trial, although the judiciary had considered this issue months ago and the Attorney General of Yemen already made notes to the leadership of the Armored division claiming to deliver those snipers who were arrested to justice, but to no avail, where the sniper are still "under arrest" trapped in the prison of the Armored First Division so far and without any legal justification.


- On 5/4/2011 Four unarmed civilian citizens (sons of the tribes of the country districts Sanhan and Blad Al-Rues) were killed that afternoon while participating in the delegation of the Committee on tribal reconciliation between President Saleh and his cousin renegade military commander Ali Mohsen Al-Ahmar Armored First Division, as they headed to the headquarters of the Armored First Division to review the General Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar to reverse the decision of defecting from the army, and the information and evidence obtained by the Association emphasizes that the soldiers of the dissident first division, along with militants from the militias of Al-Iman University of the Sheikh Zindani shot towards the tribal mediation committee killing four people of brokerage and injury of dozens of citizens, but the Yemeni judiciary has not taken any action to investigate this crime so far.
- On 29/5/201 (51) persons were killined without any trial, in a mysterious explosion that occurred in a building that was used as a secret prison owned by Sheikh / Hamid Al-Ahmar senior leader in the islah, according to the certificate of the father of one of the victims, Sheikh / Abdul Salam Al-bahree - former member of the Council of the Islah Party - that those victims were members of the ruling party and who are suspected of belonging to the Yemeni regime and offenders in the opinion young from the sit-in squares, all of whom were being held and hidden forced inside this building, but the Yemeni judiciary has not taken any action to investigate this crime so far and without any legal justification.
- On 3/6/2011 (16) persons were killed and (250) people wounded in the bombing of the Yemeni presidential mosque during their Friday prayers and among the targeted was President "Saleh" who was badly wounded.
- On / / 2011 (14) persons were killed from the protestors in Sana'a University district at the hands of security men during stopping the march that tried crawling on the building of the Council of Ministers.

Right to liberty and personal security and physical integrity:

Article (9) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights provides that "no person may be arrested, detention or arbitrary exile " and Article (10) provides that "Everyone shall have the right to be treated on equal footing with others, and the right to consider his case to the independent and impartial tribunal a public determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him "Article (11) states that: (1) Everyone charged with a crime is presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defense. (2) No person shall be held guilty of any act or omission on the performance of the work unless it is a penal offense, under national or international law at the time when it was committed, also he does not face a tougher sentence than the one that may be loaded at the time of committing the crime.
Comparing the legislative texts of Yemeni Constitution and laws with the international conventions related to crime, prove to be, do not differ much in theory and in essence, as Article (46) of the Yemeni Constitution provides that "the criminal responsibility is in person, and no crime and no punishment except on a legitimate or legal text. Any person accused is innocent until proven guilty by a court, judgment is not permissible under the law punishes any acts retroactively for its issuance, and Article (47) of the Constitution provides that (a) The State shall guarantee the personal freedom of citizens and maintain their dignity and their security and the law shall determine the cases that restrict the freedom of the citizen and freedom may not be restricted of anyone except by virtue of a court of competent jurisdiction. (b) No person may be arrested, searched or detained except in cases of flagrante delicto or an order needed for the investigation and maintenance of security and its issuance by a judge or public prosecutor in accordance with the provisions of the law and a person may not controlled or investigated except in accordance with the law and all human restricted from freedom in any way, then it’s dignity must be preserved and from torture, physically or psychologically, or morally and prohibited from coercion to confess during the investigation and the man restricted from his liberty has the right to refrain from making any statement till the presence of his lawyer and prohibits the detention or seizure of any people in places other than those under the Prisons Act and prohibits torture and inhumane treatment upon arrest or during the period of detention or imprisonment (C) each of the temporarily arrested on suspicion of committing a crime should be brought to justice through the twenty-four hours from the date of his arrest and the judge or public prosecutor must be notified of the reasons for arrest and interrogation and enable him to show his defense and his objections, and must immediately issue an constantly reasoned arrest order or his release and in any case the public prosecutor shall not continue in custody for more than seven days except by court order and the law shall determine the maximum period of hays reserve (d) when the arrest of any person for any reason the arrested must immediately notify any person of his choice as it should on the issuance of each warrant of continued custody if arrested is unable to to make, selection the prosecutor must notify his relatives or whom it may concern
(e) The law shall determine the punishment for who violates the provisions of any paragraph of this article as appropriate compensation for damage which the person may suffer due to the violation and torture, physical or psychological upon arrest, detention or imprisonment is considered a crime not statute of limitations and those who practice or order or involve in it are punishable.
Although the Code of Criminal Procedure as a whole contains a set of rules and procedures to be followed in regard to persons interested in or suspected of having committed acts punishable by law were these procedures and rules at all rights of the accused leading to it, however, the second section has confirmed the core functions as was mentioned in the Constitution of personal criminal responsibility and the fact that the accused is innocent until proven guilty and the prohibition of torture and prevent the types of detention outside the law which is contained in the provisions of Articles 3-11.

Torture and cruel treatment or punishment or inhuman or degrading treatment and crimes of detention of citizens as hostages:

Article (1) of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, inhuman or professional ill-treatment, that "any act by which causes severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person in order to obtain from that person, or a third person , information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person - or when such pain or suffering for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, or the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of, and condoned.
Article (9) of the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights also prohibits the "arbitrary" arrest and the concept of "abuse" here goes beyond the concept of law. And provides for the prohibition of arbitrariness on the additional possibility of depriving a person of his liberty is not enough to be provided by law and must not be arbitrary and the same law should not be subjected to arbitrary law enforcement. "The arbitrariness" is more than a mere violation of law or what is legal. And it must be interpreted more broadly, to include elements of injustice and lack of reasonableness and non-proportionality. Therefore, cases of deprivation of liberty provided by law must not be disproportionate or unfair or is predicted, and should not be a specific way that is located by the discriminatory arrest and must be appropriate given the circumstances of the case, detention of persons may be held only in places of detention officially recognized and their families must receive adequate information.
And the judicial authority or the authority of its decision -making holds debate on the duration and legality of detention and all detainees have the right to appear in front of a judicial authority and in the review of the lawfulness of his detention.
The first thing guaranteed in Article (9) of the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights is a legal requirement of the arrest and detention. Deprivation of liberty is only allowed when it is for reasons, and in accordance with the procedures prescribed by law. And it is a violation of the principle of legality, if a person is arrested or detained for reasons that are not scheduled as a clear report in the law or if it is inconsistent with this law. In the context of the interpretation of Article (9) of the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Human Rights Committee considered that the people who were arrested without a warrant and have not been informed of the reasons for detention are being held as arbitrary detention, as well as those held in places of detention are that not officially recognized and their relatives do not receive sufficient information about the reason and places of detention.
And the exaggerated forms of torture from cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment
And the detaining of citizens as hostages, and in places of detention for belonging to persons with influence:
The detention of citizens in the private prisons under the leadership of the- dissident - Armored First Division as well as influential tribal elders and social figures is considered arbitrary forced detention.

- The application of collective punishment on the children of the Yemeni people going through the year 2011.

(Crimes of intermittency of electricity, oil, and crimes of siege and closure)

It is worth mentioning that since the beginning of the political crisis of Yemen in February 2011 and so far the Association monitored crimes against humanity from the application of deliberate collective punishment on all the children of Yemen resembling in the continuing acts of banditry and closure of public roads and blowing electricity transmission stations, and prevent the arrival of oil tankers, gas and fuel from reaching all Yemeni citizens and so by criminal elements, and most of from Marib and Nihm province, as it became clear after the monitoring and follow-up, analysis and documentation it was shown to the association that most of these criminal acts carried out by the unknown armed tribal elements, mostly belonging to the Islah Party and the JMP, this conclusion has been confirmed after government officials from the Ministry of Interior of Yemen publicly made charges against these parties on Friday, 24 - June -2011 m, where, after the exchange of mutual accusations between the parties to the political crisis on the responsibility for these crimes, Yemen's Interior Ministry announced on Friday, 24 - June -2011 the names of 43 people said that all of them are elements belonging to the bloc of the Joint Meeting Parties (a coalition of opposition parties in Yemen) and considered them wanted by security because they are the ones who are blowing up oil pipelines in the province of Marib, as well as the attack on the electricity towers, were they are primary reason for the oil crisis and other oil derivatives systematically and continuously under the guidance of the leadership of their parties and in particular the Islah party of. Here are their names: - Ali Jaber Hassan Al-Shabwani, Hassan Saleh Mohammed Alaellouk, sadaa Hamad Saleh Mohammed Alaellouk sadaa, and Hamad Al-Nasser Saleh Hean, and Ali Saleh Saeed Hean, and Ali Nasser Ali Aushan, and Ali Mohsen Ali Dmedan, and Mohammed Mohsen Ali Dmedan, and Ali Nasser Hussain Roudhan, and Abdullah Saleh Nasser Hazal, Naji Abdullah Hamad Al-Sharhan, and Mohammed Hassan Saleh Aji Klfot, and Zaid Hassan bin Ali Al-Haera Ghareeb, and Ameen Naji Hassan Gharib, and Naji Saleh Mabkhout Kaalan, Abdullah Hamad Mohammed Alaellouk sadaa, and Abdullah Saleh Mohammed Alaellouk sadaa, and Mohammed Saleh Mohammed Alaellouk sadaa, and Ali Saleh Mohammed Alaellouk sadaa, Ali Hassan Mohammed bin Obaid, and Saleh Hassan Mohammed Alaellouk sadaa, Hamad bin Ali Agrosh, and Muhammad Ali Mohamed Agrosh, and Rabee Hamad Rabee Hudeib , and Saleh Mohammed Hassan Aji Klfot, Hamad Mohammed Hassan Aji Klfot, and Saleh Abdullah Ahmed Ghraib, and Ahmed Naji Hassan Gharib, and Hussein Saeed Bin Saleh Obaid Al Meshal, and Saleh Nader Mabkhout Kaalan, and Naji Ali Hazza Mabkhout Kaalan, and Manee Naji Saeed Mukshed, and Saleh Naji Saeed Mukshed, and Fahd Naji Saeed Mukshed, and Salim Saleh badar Rakeeb, and Ahmed Ali Rabee ALLAh Al-Hattab, and Mohammed Saleh Bqlan, and Yahya Saleh Buhaibah, and Zabin ALLAH Hamad Salem Aldmn, and Abdullah Hamad Al-Salem Aldmn, and Salem Hamad Salem Aldmn, and Naji Hassan Hussein Almkmadh, and Mohammed Hassan Mohammed Alaellouk sadaa, and for more details you can access the original page on the following link: http://www.almotamar.net/news/91712.htm
And thus the Yemeni Interior Ministry formally held the Islah Party and parties of the joint opposition responsible for such systematic and continuous attacks of bombing and sabotage of power lines and to prevent the arrival of oil tankers, gas and fuel to all Yemeni citizens as one of the crimes of collective punishment against all the children of the Yemeni people, which are the same charges, which were confirmed again by the Vice President Abd Rabo Mansour Hadi in a television interview with the C.N.N channel that was broadcasted on Thursday, 30 | 6 | 2011 m and was broadcasted on the official channels of Yemen.
According to logical and political neutral analysis to discover the truth of who was behind the application of collective punishment on the people of Yemen, in other words when you search for who is the beneficiary for these crimes? The answer will inevitably be the first beneficiary of which is the opposition Islah party and therefore bears the responsibility to stand behind the application of collective punishment and for illegal political objectives and benefits in order to get to power by instigating people violence against the existing power to drop, as perhaps the most important benefits of the Reform Party of inciting the militia to attacks against civilian targets, addressed to "cut off electricity, oil and water" is the following:
1 - blocking reconstruction. the attacks of the bombing of oil pipelines and electricity grids and water plants, Lead to block the movement and development and reconstruction in the Yemen, and sends a message to the people that the Yemeni authorities cannot meet the needs of the people and then get a violent reaction by the people to overthrow the existing power assuring the demands of the political opposition parties, which failed to be achieved through the means of peaceful struggle.
2 - Provoke a violent reaction by the people. the attacks directed at civilians and civilian objects May pay Yemeni forces to carry out a violent military response that may lead to the death of civilians or the destruction of infrastructure and thus these attacks may lead to drive a wedge between them and the population, helping rebel groups and parties that adopt and to gain sympathy and the willingness of people to engage in the ranks of the rebels to overthrow the power.
The Association also reported the negative impact of the joint caused by the ongoing political crisis and protests and armed confrontations to the residents of Yemen and their enjoyment of human rights. When the crisis and the protests began the economy and jobs and family livelihoods have been already severely affected by the crisis, protests and political siege and imposed closure. The interruption of supply of electricity and fuel - petrol, diesel and gas - for the different generating purposes, because of the incidence of crime and cut down and closure of public roads by the elements following the Islah Party in the Marib province and what resulted from that of the detonation of the power lines systematically and continuously and to prevent the tanker from access to all Yemeni citizens, - all those criminal acts - have had a very large negative impact on the lives of all Yemenis, and in particular on industrial activity, agricultural and vocational and daily family life for the citizens, and the intermittency and the blockade reflected negatively on the work of hospitals and the livelihoods of the people, and to supply water to homes and sewage treatment. The imposition of import restrictions and the ban on all exports of Yemen has an impact on the industrial sector and agricultural production. The levels of unemployment and the percentage of the population living in poverty or deep poverty are on the rise.
The process of the siege and closures and economic isolation imposed by the ongoing political crisis and the existence of camps and sit-in camps for the JMP exhibitions and NCP both, the people of Yemen in general and in particular the residents of areas adjacent to protests yards, is considered criminal and inhuman, as is the process of siege and closure and economic isolation, as a collective punishment applied against the people of Yemen in general, and the continuation of this collective punishment result in a clause of gross violations of human rights, as well as sustained and the already existing damage, most notably of is the almost complete stop for the movement of development and internal trade in Yemen and depriving it of a large number of development projects and service and underdevelopment in the process of development for other countries, which as a result became disabled because of the illegal protests by some elements of the JMP and their allies of their terrorists insurgents and as well as some elements of the ruling party and the exposure of a large number of uncompleted projects, which was under construction to stop in its construction, resulting in a faltering in some of them and destroy, in whole or in part, to each other, with most of the contractors stopping the implementation of any new projects or to complete the projects they had, and stopped a number of service facilities to provide services to the public or stumble and weaknesses in its services to the limitations and of a result of not being able to deliver equipment and supplies necessary for the conduct of its work, offering a large number of Yemeni nationals for visible losses in the sale of trade and agricultural production and livestock as a result of abandoning their homes and leave their livelihoods, as well as the acts of rebellion protests and the cutting of roads and the siege of the homes of neighbors and disturb the state of security and public order which impact negatively on the stability of citizens and make them incapable of being able to exercise their activities and their actions.
- The Association also focused on the crimes of the siege and closures and economic isolation and damages imposed by the existence of camps for the youth protests and opposition parties and the ruling party - and in particular the neighboring to the protests yards - and generally referred to as the siege and closure. Based on the testimony of witnesses adjacent to the sit-in squares in Sanaa, who met with the Association and documented their testimonies are a mixture of population and headband lanes, traders and owners of buildings and others, are: - Hussein Ali Saleh Massoud, Walid Ahmed Mohammed Kotaina, Mehdi Nasser Ali, Ghaleb Ali Kaid Mohiuddin, Maryam Ali Saleh, Amin Hamoud Ali Hababi, ramzi Iryani, bakeel Ahmed Aboujabl, Waleed Abdul Karim Mohammed Issa, Ahmed Abdel Rahman Alcciaga, Fares Wosabi, Ibrahim Ali Ahmed, Hassan Ali Hammoud, Taweel-, Hakeeem Baidhani, Ramzi Hamid Abdou Ezzeddine, Hani Aziz, Mende, Hani Ali Alrdai Mohammed, Mohammed Jamal Hussein Abs, Ibrahim Ahmed Mohammed Aldgesh, Hamoud Saleh Hassan Al-Hamdani, Khalid Al Bakara, Khalid Mujahid Matari, Al-Twaree Mohammed Abdullah, Ahmad Muhammad Zafar, Abdul Salam Mohammed Khawlani, Abdalkhalq Alcciaga Mohamed, Marzouk Said Abdo Said, Kassem Hammoud Sabour, Hatem Ahmed Ahmed Ariqi, Hashim Hamoud Saleh Al-Hamdani, Saleh Mohammed, Mohammed Qnav nasher., and thus we can sum up the most violations that occurred on the population and the people of lanes adjacent to protests squares, which includes the siege and closure measures such as restrictions on entry and exchange of goods and opening the closed business shops that Yemenis people of lanes can benefit from, including the closure of shops in front of people, goods and services, which sometimes lasts for months, including cuts and prevent the access of water supply and other services. Yemen's economy is affected as severely affected by reducing the area of free trade, private and public allowed for Yemeni traders to and creating a buffer zone along the roads and locations of protests inside the squares in Yemen. In addition to the siege and assault and highway robbery by the protesters that creates a state of emergency, it may be much weaker than the capacity of local residents adjacent to protests squares, as well as the weakened capacity of the health sectors, water and other public sectors to respond to a state of emergency arising from the JMP youth sit-ins and the ruling party is not justified.
- In light of this critical situation, the political crisis, collective punishments, destroyed a large part of the economic, commercial and agricultural infrastructure. Given that the leaders of the JMP opposition (specifically members of the Islah and the Haaq) systematically targeting the many factories and trading companies with closure by "the imposition of civil disobedience by force" and destroy or disable and damage them, again there was tragically an increase in poverty, unemployment and food insecurity. Similarly, the agricultural sector suffered from deliberate disabling that led to the desertification of agricultural land and water well during this crisis. The crisis continues to hinder the re-building the economic infrastructure that were destroyed.
- It is worth mentioning that the conditions of life in Yemen, resulting from intentional criminal acts, on the part of some JMP opposition (specifically members of the Islah Party) and the stated policies with regard to Yemen before the crisis, during and after, all these conditions refers that deliberately the leaders of those parties signing collective punishment on the population of Yemen in general, which constitutes a serious violation of international humanitarian law, which considers such acts of interference in the crimes of genocide and crimes against humanity that require prosecution of perpetrators and bring them to justice.
- Finally, the Association looked as to whether the series of acts of collective punishment pursued by the leaders of the JMP opposition and its allies from terrorist armed gangs "Ahmar boys gangs + the Armored First Division + University of Iman militias," which denies the Yemenis in Yemen of the causes of their personal freedom and wellbeing and employment opportunities, housing, water, and denying their freedom of movement and right to leave their areas and their country and entry, which limit the possibility of resorting to the courts of law and effective remedies? and whether this could serve as a persecution, a crime against humanity???. It is the opinion of the Association, and based on facts and evidence available to it, that all these acts and the crimes and collective punishment may justify an international court competent to report that crimes against humanity have been committed intentionally by some leaders of the JMP of Yemen against its own people, and therefore they carry the full legal responsibility.
- And the Association is very concerned about statements made by the officials at the JMP opposition (specifically the leaders of Islah party and Haq) in which their determination clear, to keep the crimes of the siege and collective punishment until the fall of President Saleh's regime by force. As some of those leaders incite the citizens to occupation and looting of institutions and government buildings like the " Republican Palace and the ministry of State and oil," and that some rebel leaders "Ahmar sons," have seized by force the government buildings and looted and robbed their contents as what happened to Saba news agency and the Ministry of Economy and the Ministry of Local Administration and Electricity Authority and the Rural Water and the Office of the Attorney General and other ministries, It is the opinion of the Association that such acts constitute crimes of genocide and war crimes against humanity, and thus must be the leaders of the JMP opposition and its allies from terrorist armed gangs " Ahmar sons gangs + the Armored First Division + militias of the iman University " must bear full responsibility for what resulted from their mentioned above crimes, in accordance to Islam and the law, as the continuation of the leaders of opposition parties and its allies in isolating and trapping the civilian population - and particularly those adjacent to protest square - is regarded as a collective punishment to the civilian population in Yemen and are classified as crimes against humanity,in which the perpetrators must be held accountable in accordance with international law and domestic law.
- The opposition Joint Meeting Parties (specifically members of the Reform Party) from the beginning is imposing a system of legal restrictions on movement and traffic for residents of the neighborhoods adjacent to the squares of the protests. Mobility is constrained by a Combination of physical obstacles, such as roadblocks and checkpoints and administrative measures, such as cards, political affiliation, identity, and permits from the party.
- And the Association received reports that the restrictions on the right of movement and residence in the lanes adjacent to the sit-ins has been stressed during and after the outbreak of armed clashes between the leaders of JMP exhibitions and its allies from terrorist armed gangs " Ahmar sons gangs + the Armored First Division militias + University of Iman militias" and the government forces in Yemen. these neighborhoods and alleys " became semi-closed military zones."
- The Association believes that the restrictions imposed on the freedom of residence and movement and the movement of those of Yemeni citizens living in the protest lane, in general, and the tightening of restrictions during the confrontations with the government and, to some extent, these processes are especially things out of proportion to any political objective desired . In addition, the Association is concerned about the formalization of the separation between the lanes in Yemen and then between the two parts of the one Yemen land.
- It is the opinion of the Association that the Government of Yemen is still bound by the four Geneva Conventions and to the maximum extent permitted by the means at its disposal, to ensure the supply and the introduction of food and medical supplies and hospital supplies and other goods in order to meet the humanitarian needs of the population of Yemen, "especially local residents adjacent to protest squares " and without restrictions.

IV: Evaluation of "shadow" of civil society organizations of the extent of commitment of the parties to the implementation of international resolutions of Yemen issued of 2011 on Yemen
The civil society and non-governmental organizations Knows very well that the international resolutions issued on Yemen in 2011, had a prominent role in shaping the way the safe exit for the Republic of Yemen from the current crisis formed since the beginning of last year.

The beginning was the issuance of the recommendations of the High Commissioner of the United Nations for Human Rights in session 18 and 19, issued by the Human Rights Council resolution on 29 / September / 2011, where the decision made a set of recommendations to the government and other armed opposition groups – at the time - and called on all parties to compliance and implementation, and on top of it: A call on all parties to peaceful political dialogue to resolve the political crisis and all parties to renounce violence and refrain from violence and counter-violence and non-exploitation of the poor children by all parties to the crisis of Yemen.
In the same context, and in the UN Security Council Resolution No, (2014), stressing the Human Rights Council resolution above, and reiterated the call on all parties to renounce violence and terrorism in all its forms, it also condemned the crime of bombing the president mosque of Yemen and considered it a terrorist crime, and demanded that the parties to the crisis to sign the Gulf initiative, which was in the Saudi capital Riyadh on 23 / November / 2011, when the former President signed the of the Republic and President of Gene
