Taiz, NewsYemen:
On Saturday, the forces of the 17th Infantry Brigade of the Taiz axis killed a deaf and mute young man in the Western Front while the young Tariq al-Berkani was moving behind the brigade's positions, not close by.
Military sources said that the forces of the 17th Brigade shot the young man, who got lost from the road, despite his presence far from the contact sites.
The sources added that the 17th Infantry Brigade announced that it had handed the killer over to the Criminal Investigation Department in the governorate, but sources in the Criminal Investigation Department had denied the Brigade’s account of handing over the killer, and confirmed that the Brigade had not yet handed over the accused to the murder of the young Muhammad Mahdi, the owner of the house that was seized by the Brotherhood leader Major General Abdo Hammoud, operations commander.
The sources said that targeting the deaf young man represents a disregard for the lives of people, and that it was possible to know the lack of safety of the lost youth through warning shots and seeing him as defenseless enough not to rush to shoot him directly in the head.
