A journalist was severely injured on Friday night after an unidentified gunman assaulted him while he was on his way to work in the southern port city of Aden.
In a statement released after the attack, Waleed al-Sharaby, the managing editor of Arsefa’s News Agency and the editor of Today’s News newspaper, said someone unknown, who was following him as he left his office for visiting his sister in Aden’s Sheikh Othman district, suddenly stabbed him many times at his head, causing him serious wounds. After attacking, al-Sharaby added, he was immediately rushed to hospital.
On the other hand, Yemen’s Journalists Syndicate has condemned the blatant attack on the two Yemeni journalists, Hamdan al-Aley and Bushra al-Amiri, by a number of Iraqis led by Kuwaiti MP Abdul Hameed Dashti who were carrying banners of the Shiite militia’s Popular Mobilization Forces while they were leaving the headquarters of the Human Rights Council in Geneva.
Commenting on the unusual incident, Yemeni Journalists Syndicate member, Nabil al-Osaidi, said what had happened was “due to interventions and seminars attended by the colleagues who criticized the Iran-backed Shiite militia and forces of the ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh for their violations of human rights in Yemen in general and of press freedoms in particular."
Al-Osaidi deemed what took place in Geneva against the two colleagues as an assault on all Yemeni journalists, which reveals the truth about the relationship between the repressive militias in Iraq represented by Popular Mobilization Forces and the militias of Houthis and Saleh in Yemen.
He confirmed that the Yemeni Journalists Syndicate stands up for the colleagues and condemns the blatant abuse they suffered, noting that what makes it more heinous is that the aggressors were in an international forum as representatives of human rights organizations.
