AhlulBayt News Agency: A violent physical assault on a child at a Quran memorization center in Yemen’s Marib governorate has sparked widespread outrage among the public and human rights advocates. The incident has led to urgent calls for accountability and an independent investigation.
According to human rights sources, Fuad Ali Rassam, a young student, was brutally beaten by Jalal al-Na’am, director of the Uthman bin Affan Quran Memorization Center. Activists condemned the act as a blatant violation of children’s rights and Islamic educational values.
Child rights organizations described the incident as a serious breach of Yemen’s obligations under the Convention on the Rights of the Child. This international agreement mandates the protection of children from all forms of violence, particularly within educational and religious institutions.
These organizations have called on authorities in Marib to uphold their legal and moral responsibilities. They demand a transparent investigation and insist that those responsible be held accountable.
Rights groups emphasized that violence against children is an inexcusable crime. They urged the implementation of strict oversight mechanisms in religious education centers to ensure a safe and respectful learning environment.
Despite mounting public pressure, authorities affiliated with the Islah Party in Marib have yet to issue an official statement regarding the incident.
