A number of NDC members staged a demonstration in the conference area lobby of the Movenpick Hotel on Sunday. The target of the demonstrating members’ condemnations was general insecurity, continued violence, and targeted killings in Yemen.

The protest was held just one day after Chief Intelligence Officer for Hadhramout governorate Ahmed M. Abdulrazzak was assassinated.

The protesters demanded that security in general be boosted and also for the perpetrators of the murder to be arrested without delay.

Meanwhile, some other participants in the demonstration held up placards with words condemning the practice of slavery, which they said continues to exist in some areas of Hodeida and Hajja governorates.
