The Acting Minister of Human Rights in the Sana'a government, Ali Al-Dailami, said in a statement to Al Mayadeen that "Saudi Arabia took advantage of the events in Ukraine to carry out mass executions."

He explained that Saudi Arabia deliberately disregards the lives of Yemenis, and he held both the United States and Saudi Arabia responsible for the crimes against them.

He stressed that "the Yemeni detainees in Saudi Arabia are illegal immigrants and are subjected to torture in the absence of any defense lawyer."

For his part, the Minister of Information in the Sanaa government, Daifallah Al-Shami, slammed  Al Saud's crimes and their mass execution of 81 people, including 41 from Qatif and 7 Yemenis, as "a major crime against humanity."

He pointed out that these crimes will only be carried out with the will and directions of the Americans, which exposes its false democracy. "Everyone knows that Bin Salman won't even go on a vacation without an American approval."

For its part, the Prisoners' Affairs Committee in Sanaa said the Saudi regime's execution of prisoners of war violated all laws and charters, adding that the Saudi regime's execution of the two Yemeni prisoners, Hakim Al-Batini and Haider Al-Shawdani, is a dangerous precedent.

It warned that executing these two prisoners portends dire intolerable consequences.

Iraqi factions: We affirm our condemnation of Saudi crimes

The Secretary-General of Asa'ib Ahl Al-Haq, Qais Khazali, confirmed today, Saturday, that "Saudi Arabia brutally executes dozens for reasons, most of which are abhorrently sectarian," condemning the "systematic sectarian behavior of the Saudi government."

For its part, Iraq's Hezbollah Brigades considered that the behavior of the Saudi authorities indicates the extent of this "gang's brutality and thirst for blood, and even proves the threat its existence poses to humanity."

It considered that "the crimes and massacres committed by the Saudi entity against innocent people from the country of the Two Holy Mosques, Iraq, and Yemen, and in every country to which it let its mercenaries in, not to mention its malicious Wahhabi ideas under the protection and sponsorship of Zionism, confirms that they are the main cause of instability in the region."
