Sanaa: Remembering massacres of Kentucky traffic circle

The council of the revolutionary youth marked the second anniversary of the massacre at the Kentucky traffic circle by forces of the former regime during the revolution in the 11th May Hall in the council's HQ in Sanaa.

Families of some of those who were killed, activists and wounded revolutionaries attended the event. Hundreds were killed and injured in the massacre.

Documentaries about the horrible massacre were shown.

"The rights of the martyrs and the wounded should be taken," it said in a statement, calling on all political forces not to bargain the blood of the martyrs as they are the first responsible for the fates of their families and children.

This anniversary is not just a remembrance event but an immortal anniversary inspiring all to continue struggle for the sake of great principles and a civil state for which the youth have sacrificed, it said in the statement.

It vowed to continue struggle until all goals that youth were killed and wounded for are achieved, assuring families of the martyrs to stand by them to reject the impunity law and to seek a political isolation law for all those included in the impunity law.

Relatives of the martyrs and the wounded praised marking the anniversary and vowed to continue the path of the martyrs.

Spokesperson for the council Mizar Al-Junaid said the council is closely watching the national dialog conference and that it will work in coming days to evaluate the conference's outcomes. The council will take steps to pressure towards implementing the goals that the martyrs sacrificed for until the state of justice and the rule of law are established, Al-Junaid said.
