[09/01/2023 05:30]

ANTALYA-SABA
Speaker of Parliament Sultan al-Barakani participated in the discussions of the 13th general session of the Asian Parliamentary Association held in the Turkish city of Antalya.

He delivered a speech in which he called on the Asian Parliamentary Association to condemn the atrocities and violations of the Iran-backed Terrorist Houthi militias in blatant defiance of the international laws, treaties and conventions.

He squarely put blame on the Iranian regime for prolonging the Yemeni conflict and the Yemeni peoples' ordeal.

He said" I'm standing here to talk to you for the second time while my country has been suffering from the Iranian interference and support for the terrorist rebellious militias, providing them with ballistic missiles, drones, money and oil".

He continued to say" The Terrorist Houthi militias have seriously damaged the country's institutions, facilities, culture, educational curriculums, abolished the constitution, national laws and international convention by imposing the so-called "Document of Occupational Code of Conduct" replacing all what Yemen has achieved of legislations by the narratives of its terrorist, racist-sectarian preachers".

Al-Barakani added" The Yemenis' agony has been increasingly growing and worsening, humanitarian catastrophe reaching its peak, your colleagues of the Yemeni MPs have been sentenced to execution for opposing the Terrorist Houthi militias' coup, their own property confiscated, relatives imprisoned".

The Speaker of Parliament appealed to the Asian lawmakers to show solidarity with their Yemenis colleagues saying" As MPs you are asked to condemn and reject the Houthi militias' terrorist practices and atrocities which are violating the International Law and national constitution and laws. From this podium I do call on you to announce solidarity with 46 of the Yemeni lawmakers have been sentenced to death, facing execution in any moment".
