The petition stated that the militia has committed crimes of killing, arbitrary arrest, forced disappearance, torture, detonating and demolishing houses.

According to the petition, the militias carried out more than 20 executions against social dignitaries and leaders of the GPC, arrested above 200 persons in unknown detention places, some of them forced disappearances, detonating 11 houses, damaging partially or totally some 100 private-owned properties.

The petition cited the militias violations and crimes against the population Rosaba village in Dhamar province where the militiamen killed several people included Sheikh Dhaifallah Mothanna and his companions after they had killed two of his brothers, detonating three houses and several shops.

The petition also cited one more hideous crime the militia committed in Hodieda province where three children shot dead yesterday by one of the militia's snipers.

The Human Rights Ministry called on the UN High Commissionaire for Human Rights to act seriously by the virtue of his humanitarian responsibility to halt the disastrously deterioration of human rights in Yemen by the putshists militias.
