According to the sources, the militants of in the Second Brigade of the so-called “Guardians of the Republic”, led by the Emirati man on the west coast, Tariq Saleh, raped two girls after abducting them while they were leaving school on the way back to their homes.
The sources confirmed that the two girls, who are only 12 years old, were severely beaten by the kidnappers before taking turns raping them.
The crime caused a shock and great discontent among the people, according to the sources,
This incident comes in light of the attempts of coalition militants to terrorize citizens and force them to remain silent about the cases of rape practiced against the women and children of the city, which is under the control of militias affiliated with the Saudi- UAE coalition forces on the western coast.
It is worth mentioning that rape cases have become a phenomenon in every area, which is under the coalition of the occupation forces.
