AS:

Al-Jaashin citizens dispatched Tuesday a letter to Ibb governr, demanding to put an end to infringements practiced against them by al-Jaashin local Sheikh, Ahmed Mohammad Mansor.

The letter says that Mansor blocked drinking water pipes from their village, demanding the governor to immediately end the trouble and bearing him the responsibility for protecting their lives.

The citizens said in a call to Alsahwanet that they want rehabilitation for their banishment, ending infringements, changing local chiefs, preventing the sheikh form intervention in their affairs, public services and social insurance.

Meanwhile, the displaced people and civil society bodies are still waiting the report of parliamentary committee appointed by the parliament to investigate the events of banishment and violations committed by the sheikh against al-Jaashin people.

The displaced who lately returned to their villages also complained that a local security official surrounded them with the military vehicles, threatened them, wrote down their name and offered them to the sheikh’s son who, in turn, menaced them with retaliation and killing.
