Rights body getting wrong information

JEDDAH: The legitimate government of Yemen has lashed out at Amnesty International for relying on reports from elements who do not exist in the war-wracked country and presenting a wrong picture about the ground reality.
“There is a very large misleading process carried out by Amnesty International, which has no correspondents in Yemen,” said Mohammed Abdelmajid Qubati, Yemeni minister of information.
“People who are supplying with wrong information pretend to be present in Yemen, but in reality they live in other countries. Hence the rights organization is wrongly presenting facts,” he said.
Qubati said the coup plotters, Houthis and their supporters are the ones responsible for crime against humanity in Yemen, but they are blaming the coalition fighters.
Some of the reports are being taken from people close to the Iranian regime and are clearly one-sided, he said. “These reports are submitted to put pressure on the coalition forces and the legitimate government,” he said.
He said the foreign delegation of the legitimate government of Yemen are absent from activities in Europe and the US. “I attended an exhibition in London a month ago, where pictures of attacks and destruction were displayed, with messages that coalition forces were responsible for the same,” he continued.
“I told them that those pictures are of my city Aden and not Sanaa, as they claimed by them,” he said, adding that this is proof enough that the wrong picture of Yemen is being projected to change public opinion.
However, the locals and the Arab people know well that there is an attempt to distort reality and that Iran is active in these Europe and America, he added.
