A Yemeni NGO for combating violence and terrorism accused the Turkish government of killing Yemenis with Turkish guns provided with silencers.

The National Organization for Combating Violence and Terrorism, Kefah, said that Turkish government should be held fully responsible for all political assassinations of security and military officials.

Today Tuesday, December 25, 2012, two high ranking military officials were assassinated in the capital Sanaa by guns provided with silencers.

At least three shipments of Turkish weapons, mainly  pistols with  silencers, were confiscated by Yemeni authorities in different ports like Aden, Hodeidah, and Mukalla. The last one was Turkish pistols in Hais district of the western province of Hodeidah.

 The President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi promoted Tuesday the soldiers of the check point who discovered the shipment last week  to first lieutenant  and gave each one of them one million Yemeni Rial, that's about 5,000 US dollars each. 

The organization Kefah, said the Turkish government must say who imported the weapons, and must stop doing all that against Yemen.

If not, the organization warned in a statement sent to local media Tuesday, we will file a lawsuit before the International Criminal Court  against the Turkish government and its prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

The organization Kefah said that it has copies of the investigations over the shipments of Turkish weapons confiscated recently in Yemen.
