A number of 250 lawmakers issued a statement on Sunday denouncing the brutal massacre of Muslims in Yemen.

“We as the representatives of the Islamic Consultative Assembly (Majlis) and the signers of this statement condemn the cruel killing of Muslims in Yemen and (we) want all sympathetic officials in the Islamic world as well as the Islamic groupings and organizations, particularly the Organization of Islamic Conference, to utilize all their potential to stop this tragedy and put an end to the killings,” part of the statement said.

The lawmakers said at a time that the Zionist regime, under the auspices of some powers like the U.S., is explicitly denying Palestinians’ rights, Muslims should defend the oppressed Islamic nations.

And what is more “shocking and reprehensible” is the cruel attacks against Muslims in Yemen, they added.

Killing Yemeni people by Saudi Arabian fighter jets is only benefiting Islam’s enemies, the lawmakers insisted.

The Yemeni army has launched attacks on its Shia population for many years.
