We are victims of mines in the central regions of our country , we appeal to you hoping that we hear
Unfortunately and sadly to person to live in the twentieth one century and seeing that violations of human rights in our beautiful world and what make us regret more and more those violations in our arabic countries .. The Middle East and North Africa and such a persistent violations and repeated and multiple forms and types fuel internal conflicts within societies and impede development progress and encourage migration to the countries that respect human rights.
example of those human rights violations which makes our societies suffered , the Yemeni society plagued by the intervention of Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi in its internal affairs by his supporting to the southern yemeni army against the northern yemeni army in the 1980"s of the last century , he supported the southern army ( moral and material ) to the laying of mines along the border between the State of North Yemen and South Yemen State (formerly before Unity) and now those mines kill the inhabitants of those areas Libyan results of this blatant interference in their affairs, and irresponsible and they lose every day dead and injured result mines which planted in the border areas of yemen.
Yemeni people have lost more than fifty thousand disabled and killed during the past quarter century, the number is still increasing daily loss of friends and relatives, while world number increasing every day?
Is not this a terrible violation of human rights?
Is not this an interference in the affairs of others?
Is not this pursuant not humanly done by the Libyan President?
Libyan President laying mines and ended up? Dose he has the right to do so? why the international society and the world still silent? Why we could not to prevent him to do so?
who will judje the president al-kaddafi for what he done ? and who will offset the Yemeni people for his losses?
we ask the Human Rights Council and UN councel and the international society this question .
why you still silence for what happened and for this violation?
I speak on behalf of families of the victims of mines and I appeal to you to intervene urgently to prosecute Libyan President and to put an end to the excesses of Libyan President in inhumane behavior?
How the civilized world allows the existence of such a president and governing human society belongs to this world? I am carrieng the invitations and hopes for one thousand seven hundred and fifty-affected submitted a complaint to the Human Rights Council Inacdonh need to intervene and prosecute Libyan President and apeall you to return thier rights in security and live safety .
We established for this porpose our international
compaign (lawyers ,activists, journalists and victims )
We have submitted a
complaint to the Human Rights Council in Geneva, and we sent
a letter appealing to President Libyan appeal him to work with the people affected by the settlement and to help the Yemeni government on demining . But Libyan President ignored the appeal. Why? simply ..... he does not have the sense of human and not feel the extent of the injury and injustice legacy gift to the people of Yemen.
have also sent
a letter appealing to President Yemeni to intervene government official with us, but unfortunally the yemeni government didnt replay us .
In september /1/2007 in sanaa city , More than 500 people representing the victims and , lawyers and journalists in a sit-in demonstration at the United Nations Office to protest and demand justice and international involvement of the United Nations and peace demonstrators Director of the Office of the United Nations in Sana'a letter of protest and appeal

turn to you and appeal you to speed up acceptance of the complaint and to open an international investigation and we hope to convicte the Libyan President
The Libyan President very negative person and does not possess feelings of compassion and humanity, we have seen how he created the bulgarian nurses issue and how they face false accusations of causing illness children Allibeben by AIDS and how many years they had losted form thier life age ... Simply ... Only to put pressure on the international community ... This man plays by the feelings and sensibilities of people? And what surprised .. How acquiescence of the international community from such behavior and not condemned?

It was planted in the territory of Central Yemeni areas (that is the subject of the lawsuit and provinces those cities :

as well as his commitment to them to ask for all of the material and moral support for the continued vandalism and extermination, murder, Gaddafi announced in this speech the affiliation of the gang him, and the announcement of his ability to stop all activities and operations of sabotage and terrorism carried out by those criminal gang in the central regions of Yemen, according to the testimony of eyewitnesses and leaders of rebel and written testimony of historians and annex part of this complaint.
2-It is noteworthy that the mere visit Colonel / Gaddafi to the rebels and meeting them and enticing them is the explicit endorsement of them, and who are affiliated to him and his involvement with them in their crimes and their continuing so far, not to mention the mere announcement that his ability to stop the acts of sabotage carried out by the criminal gang that is proof evidence confirms the involvement and participation of the State of Libya, led by Colonel Gaddafi in all the crimes against humanity perpetrated by the rebels and continuing until now because of anti-implant and other killing and wounding of civilian unarmed people and children, women and elderly people and the displacement and other effects of continuing to now, foremost of which is horrendous crimes of genocide crimes against humanity of the results of the continuing explosions (12) million mines planted by the rebels supported and abetted by the defendant indiscriminately during the conflict in the territory and the mountains of Central and roads and border areas, which do not persist and continue to this day to kill and maim dozens hamper and even hundreds of thousands of people on a continuous and semi-daily without any fault of their own, where the latest incident occurred in a mine explosion on Friday, 05/25/2007 resulted in the injury of a girl called Samar Muhammad Ali Kudan from Ib city .Governorate central regions Twelve grazing sheep and also mobilize the Independent newspaper reported in its issue number (39) and the date 7/11/2007, and not, but the adoption of the current government of Yemen prime minister : Ali Mjwer constantly of this tragedy is mine central regions until today, the phenomenon is still unresolved, in response to questioning him by the Yemeni parliament on 07/18/2007 before the House Yemeni, and the publication read in the newspaper Republic Yemeni government official on 07/19/2007 attached to thisHowever, we can say that this humanitarian catastrophe ongoingand minefields of random have created so far thousands of victims among the dead and wounded and disabled since planting so far and ongoing tragedy and the victims in a crash on the figure on the increase, it is responsible.
3-It should be noted that (tragedy laying mines) in the central regions of Yemen has deprived residents and owners and beneficiaries will get agricultural land and other Since then, and even now to take advantage of land and property due to the threat of those mines.and not only this but they have destroyed economic viability stones to them, their children and their dependents, and because of the presence of mines in the deadly Qazafi"s lands and villages which are still grown in the border area over (168.000) 2 meters.according to the latest official statistic from the Yemeni government and the United Nations, while no physical inventory actual number of victims daily explosion of such mines since the date of transplantation, and even the moment,as a result of abandonment of the Yemeni government to address the situation of the victims of those mines or compensate victims
4-It should be noted that most victims (Gaddafi continuing tragedy mines) are children, women and elderly of innocent unarmed civilians who had nothing to do with them, as explained in the accompanying benefit of this, of whom five thousand young disabled SurvivedFrom the mines by statistical discretionary inaccurate official published Yemeni newspaper in the Charter of the ruling party in Yemen on 05/21/2007.while the fact that the number of victims times that figure publication has been recognized by the official newspaper themselves, "Where do justice to these victims and stand beside them and tried to tragedy caused by whomsoeverWhere saves the rest of the Yemeni people from the continuing humanitarian catastrophe and Fixed random mines still planted in the ground until now, which did not explode after a gift from Colonel Qaddafi to exterminate them collectively and get rid of them intentionally and aggressively.
steps taken to exhaust local remedies in Yemen :On March 30, 2007 court issued the Yemeni representative Magistrate Court Southeast secretariat of the capital Sanaa city, which was considered this case a court ruling that Yemeni jurisdiction in the eyes of the international civil or criminal proceedings brought by him and by the bureau before the Attorney General to open an investigation in the case against Colonel Muammar Gaddafi described herself be tried on behalf of victims of mines and sabotage central regions of Yemen on February 25, 2007 and a copy of this annex, which was issued this judicial decision above breach of the Constitution and the laws in force, which shows the Yemeni domestic jurisdiction in the dispute, but it was the result of direct intervention the Yemeni government for publication and public pressure on the illegal cross-judge previously issued an official statement to the official in the Yemeni governmenton March 16 /2007 was published in all the media, governmental and non-governmental organizations accused the bureau of mercenaries and that it considers that this lawsuit hung from the door of discord and disharmony, which the abuse of diplomatic relations between Yemen and Libya and damage relations between the two countries ... etc.The annex a copy of this,
in addition to threatening us several ways to leave the case and not constantly activated,and until now without any legal justification, has been preceded by the declaration also held intensive contacts between Gaddafi and President of the Republic on this matter led to pressure the Yemeni government to the judiciary to reject this lawsuit justification lack of jurisdiction international him.considering the purpose of depriving victims access to justice in their homeland, the trial caused the tragedy,
therefore, be tried victims had exhausted all means of appeal and domestic remedies against the defendant and his government have the right to trigger the lifting of the internationally before the United Nations human rights of redress and open investigation for this continual miserable for this poor people who haven’t any fault, in accordance to the mechanisms established in this regard across the Boldest (1503) issued by the United Nations.
