Stop Unlawful Drone Strikes In the news

In a first, Yemenis seek redress for U.S. drone strikes at Inter-American rights body

On Jan 26, Reprieve filed a petition and witness statement at the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, on behalf of a Yemeni family that has repeatedly been targeted by the US.

Reporters from the Washington Post wrote: “The petition, the first of its kind to be submitted to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, asserts that six drone strikes and one Special Operations raid targeting Yemen’s al-Bayda governorate during the Obama and Trump administrations inflicted catastrophic damage on two families. Among the dead, the survivors say, were nine children and several members of Yemen’s military.”
