SANAA, Yemen -- Dozens of prisoners and security personnel were feared dead after Saudi-led airstrikes on Saturday battered two prisons inside a security headquarters in a western port city, security and medical officials said. “This building is used by Houthi militia and the forces of the deposed president as a command and control center for their military operations,” a statement by the coalition said, referring to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh, a Houthi ally. According to HRW’s record, since the beginning of the Saudi-led air campaign in Yemen (which began on March 26, 2015), the Saudi coalition, with direct military support from the US and assistance from the UK, have conducted at least 58 “unlawful airstrikes.”

The HRW has repeatedly criticized the coalition’s use of US and UK-produced weapons, including cluster munition in Yemen. HADI REJECTS PEACE PLAN

Rights groups have said the raids may amount to war crimes, but an investigative body set up by the coalition largely defended its methods in an August report, which concluded that Houthi rebels regularly deploy to civilian sites. Speaking after a meeting with U.N. envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed in Riyadh, Hadi said the agreement would “reward the rebels and penalize the Yemeni people and legitimacy”, according to the government-controlled Saba news agency.
