00:00Amnesty International is calling for an investigation into a U.S. airstrike in Yemen's Saad province

00:06that killed more than 60 African migrants held in a Houthi-run prison last April.

00:11The Rice Group says the April 28th strike will amount to a war crime, renewing scrutiny

00:17of America's role in Yemen's long and devastating conflict.

00:20The U.S. attack on the migrant detention facility in Saadah, northwestern Yemen, qualifies as

00:27an indiscriminate attack and should be investigated as a war crime.

00:32The research also finds that the Houthis subjected many of these people to abusive conditions

00:39of detention and that after a nearby airstrike happened sort of minutes before the U.S. airstrike

00:46on the migrant detention facility, people who were being held within the migrant detention

00:51facility went and yelled at the gate asking the guards to let them out.

00:56The Houthi guards, instead of letting these people out, shot warning shots into the air

01:00and then almost immediately after that you have the U.S. airstrike hitting the detention facility.

01:06The U.S. Central Command has yet to explain the strike on the Houthi-run prison, a site previously

01:11bombed by the Saudi-led coalition and long known to hold African migrants trying to reach Saudi Arabia

01:16through Yemen's war zone.

01:18One of the things that was relatively devastating is, again, you're talking about people who

01:22left Ethiopia, traveled to Yemen because they're trying to get to the Gulf and then some and many

01:28of them because they want to send money home to their families and now many of them and they have

01:31to have their families sending money to them in Yemen to deal with the effects of the injury.

01:35The Houthi attacks have sharply escalated under Trump's operation Rough Rider, hitting some

01:4112,000 targets in Yemen.

01:49And they could run the U.S. in Yemen, they didn't have to take the dam of the U.S. in Yemen,

01:56there was no tickets for east of the U.S. in Yemen.

01:58But, if you are currently in Yemen, the U.S.. in Yemen, the U.S. in Yemen, there was a

02:01few days and a few days after the U.S. in Yemen.

02:03And the U.S., he left a few days after our country were held under Iran and 축 of the U.S. in Yemen.

02:06And the U.S. in Yemen, the U.S. in Yemen.
