Women Journalists Without Chains (WJWC) condemns and denounces the storming of the Journalists Syndicate building in Aden, its seizure, and intimidation of its employees, and holds the Southern Transitional Council fully responsible.

The WJWC expresses its unequivocal support for the Yemeni Journalists Syndicate in the aftermath of repeated attacks on its headquarters in Aden Governorate, reiterating its support in this dangerous phase, in which the entire press entity is targeted and backing the syndicate’s demands included in a statement issued on March 01, 2023, including quickly evacuating the Syndicate branch's headquarters building without restriction or condition, returning it to the administrative body of the Yemeni Journalists Syndicate elected by its members in Aden, and ensuring the protection of the members of the syndicate's administrative body, and all its members and not repeating these incidents.

Women Journalists Without Chains calls on civil rights and human rights organizations, led by the International Federation of Journalists, to stand in solidarity with the Yemeni Journalists Syndicate and condemn what happened to its Aden headquarters building, as well as the ongoing attacks by the Houthi group and Transitional Council militias on official and private press and media institutions in Aden and throughout Yemen.
