Alwaght- The newly appointed prime minister in Yemen says Britain is guilty of war crimes by selling weapons to Saudi Arabia amid attacks on Yemen.
“They have sold cluster bombs to Saudi Arabia. They know the Saudis are going to drop them on Yemen [...] in Sa'ada and in Sana'a and other provinces,” said Abdulaziz bin Habtoor on Tuesday during an interview with Sky News.
London has been condemned for arms supply to the Saudi Kingdom by multiple human rights organizations and even its own parliament members.
More than once, parliament committees in London have sought to stop arms supplies though the government always refused to do so justifying it on a claimed monitoring of the war.
"I don't think they are guilty of war crimes, I believe so. They are participating in the bombing of Yemeni people," added Habtoor.
Meanwhile, the US canceled the transfer of some arms to Saudi Arabia, amid worldwide criticism about civilian deaths and destruction from the Saudi military aggression in Yemen.
At least 11,400 people have died as the result of the Saudi campaign in the kingdom’s impoverished neighbor since March 2015, according to the latest tally by a Yemeni monitoring group.
