Yemen’s Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and human rights activist Tawakkol Karman has condemned in the strongest terms targeting a mourning hall filled with hundreds of civilians in Yemen’s rebel-held capital, Sana’a.

In s post published on her Facebook page today evening, Karman stated that what has taken place in the capital, Sana’a, is a crime against humanity whose perpetrators should neither escape from prosecution nor go unpunished, stressing that there is no statute of limitations on such crime.

At least 82 people were killed and 534 other were injured in an air strike hitting a hall in the southern part of Sanaa where a wake was taking place for the pro-coup interior minister’ father who passed away on Friday, Reuters said, quoting the acting health minister, Ghazi Ismail, in the Houthi de facto authority. 

"The Saudi aggression committed a major crime today, by attacking a mourning hall for the al-Roweishan family, targeting residents in the hall. As a result, 534 were wounded and 82 were martyred," Ismail told a news conference in Sanaa, but the coalition denied any role in the incident.
