Press Release
26th August 2010
SOMALI HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDENDERS NETWORK (SOHRIDEN) is strongly condemning the merciless attacks that resulted more than 33 deaths and casualties including Four Parliamentarians on 24th August at Muna hotel in Mogadishu.
The current fighting in
Mogadishu and the ongoing atrocities reveals only the disdaining of the warring groups to the lives of the civilians and the least consideration they don’t give to the
international humanitarian law. The indiscriminate shelling of densely populated areas like markets and
residential areas are
war crimes and those who committed will be prosecuted and will face justice on one day.
We also condemn the brutal actions of the TFG forces of tying dead corps of one of the Alshabab assailants to a pickup truck and dragging him through the dusty streets of the capital. These actions are unacceptable in overall human norms, customary and international law as well as international instruments of human rights .
"On behalf of all
Somali Human Rights Defenders Network (SOHRIDEN), I would like to express our sympathies to the friends and families of the victims," said Ahmed kiimiko, Chairperson of SOHRIDEN and Focal Point of East and horn of Africa Human Rights defenders Network for Somalia. " Somali Human Rights Defenders are deeply concerned by the worsening security situation in our country. Our ability is limited and we raise our voices to reach all sides the TFG , AMISOM and those extremists Alshabab who are killing the innocents civilians indiscriminately with their mortars and
suicide bombers to stop this uncaring killings with out condition” Concluded Ahmed kiimiko
