Mohammed al-Houthi condemns UN meddling in internal judicial affairs

Member of the Supreme Political Council, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, has responded to the statement of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva demanding to “repeal the death sentences of 35 parliament members. ”

“The statements and accusations made by the United Nations are usually questionable because its motives are political and financial, and not judiciary,” Mohammed al-Houthi said on Friday.

“The Yemeni judiciary is independent. Personally, I don’t mind having lawyers from you [here] in order to defend traitors. They are welcome in every capacity, and organizations are available to attend the hearings,” he added.

“When they speak, they only call on all parties, without condemning the aggression for the massacres they have committed,” he said

He continued saying that: “The UN has to admit that it was (…) forced to remove the coalition member states from the blacklist of child rights violators (…) The scandal of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon continues to resonate with the world, when he bowed to political money and removed Saudi Arabia from the list of shame.”

“In the coming days, we may see more rumors against the Yemeni people facing the US-British-Saudi-Emirati aggression and their allies. But they will be defeated by the Yemeni people’s awareness of this, ” he concluded.
