Saudi-led coalition can’t claim ‘clean hands’ over Yemen airstrikes until transparent inquiry – Human Rights Watch

‘A rights group condemns the Saudi-led coalition for unwilling to probe its “unlawful attacks.” Although the coalition admitted a recent “technical error,” which led to dozens of casualties, HRW says Yemen needs more than “generic expressions of sympathy.”
