A French rights group sued Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan (MBZ) for his alleged involvement in the war in Yemen. The Alliance for the Defence of Rights and Freedoms (AIDL) accused Al-Nahyan of war crimes, complicity in torture, and inhumane treatment in Yemen.

The lawsuit was filed in a Paris court during Al-Nahyan’s visit to France. The complaint against Abu Dhabi’s crown prince cited a report by United Nations experts that said coalition attacks may have constituted war crimes and that torture was carried out in two centres controlled by Emirati forces.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) was one of the coalition countries heavily involved in the war in Yemen, where it regularly took part in bombing raids. One of the cases referred to in the lawsuit was the bombing of a building in the Yemeni city of Sanaa in 2016 when a wake was taking place for the father of the Houthi administration’s interior minister.

French prosecutors were currently looking at that lawsuit in a legal process that was expected to last a year. France was a close ally of both the UAE and Saudi Arabia, which headed a coalition fighting the Iran-aligned Houthi rebels who controlled most of northern Yemen and the capital Sanaa.
