Yemeni Lawyers Planning to Prosecute Saudi Regime: British Activist

On the sidelines of International Conference to support Yemeni people on Sunday, Ba-Alawi explained to IRNA the importance of the conference: "We were trying to have a conference on this scale for about a year and a half, from the beginning of the aggression against Yemen; however we did not have the opportunity to put this together because our financial resources are severely limited."

"Our aim in this conference was to invite many international high profile figures to come here and see what's happening, to share the grief of the people of Yemen and to think a way forward of how we can support the victims of this war."

"Yemen is an independent sovereign state and has instituted its supreme political council to govern the country; so there is no political vacuum for anyone to intervene."

In parallel, millions of Yemenis came to Sana'a Saturday to show their support for the institution of the Supreme Political Council to govern Yemen.

"This leaves the Saudi regime and its allies with no excuse whatsoever that they can meddle with the affairs of Yemen."

Yemen has democratically chosen to determine its own future and it has this right guaranteed by the Geneva Convention; so we are demanding that this right be upheld and complied with by all parties, the activist said.

"Yemeni lawyers are planning to bring proceedings against different countries involved in this war against Yemen. Bringing to justice against those who are responsible for the crimes against Yemen," she added.

"We believe that there is a scope for bringing Saudi regime to justice. The route is very long and it does need a lot of funding, but we know it is doable."

"Saudi regime supplies terrorism to the world, in return the world has to fight that terrorism and other people get to sell weapons; this is the reality that's happening. Otherwise how can you associate with the royal regime of Saudi?"
