Basij commander of Iranian businessmen and merchants Majid Tholoei
Middle East: The Basij commander of Iranian businessmen and merchants Majid Tholoei in an exclusive interview with Iran Press news agency on Tuesday said: "We expect international organizations, such as United Nations, to hear the voice of the innocent people of Yemen, and to indicate that they hear the message of these protests -- protests all over the world in support of the Yemeni people."
In further comments Majid Tholoei said: "Western media often report small insignificant events, both at home as well as abroad, but why do they not show the bombing and murder of innocent Yemenis on a daily basis by US and its ally, Saudi Arabia? It is very clear that US human rights is completely different to real human rights. So we are here as a humanitarian duty to show our solidarity with the innocent Yemeni people."

Nearly 14,000 Yemenis, including 5,000 women and children, have lost their lives in the deadly military campaign. 103
