SANAA: Hundreds of people gathered in Yemen’s rebel-held capital on Wednesday to watch the execution of three men -- two convicted of child rape and murder, and one of killing his daughters. It was Sanaa’s first public execution since August 2018, when the rebels shot three men and hung their bodies from a crane for raping and killing a child.
