Amnesty International called on Wednesday for an investigation into the U.S. airstrike on a prison in Yemen on April 28, 2022, which killed more than 60 detained African migrants, labeling it a "potential war crime."

The organization renewed its call for scrutiny of the U.S. strike in Yemen's Saada Governorate, noting that the attack appeared to be a "random assault" after concluding that there was no clear military target.

In this context, Christine Beckerly, Deputy Director of Amnesty International’s Middle East and North Africa Program, stated: "I could hardly believe that the United States would carry out an airstrike on the same complex, causing severe harm to civilians."

She added: "It is hard to believe that the United States was unaware of what was happening."

International law prohibits bombing sites such as hospitals and prisons unless they are being used for planning attacks or storing weapons. Even in such cases, all necessary precautions must be taken to avoid civilian casualties.

The attack came as part of the brutal U.S. aggression led by war criminal Donald Trump against Yemen, in response to its support for Gaza, which is facing a Zionist extermination war.
