End the NPR Yemen Blackout

A demand for American radio news coverage of US-sponsored bombings in Yemen

Why is this important?

Bombings include the targeting of hospitals, critical infrastructure, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, schools, and civilian neighborhoods. These strikes use illegal weapons, including clusters bombs, and deadly tactics such as "double tap" and "triple tap" strikes, which kill medical personnel arriving on the scene. NPR has ignored the Yemen bombings, such as the Oct. 8, 2016 Sana'a strike which killed over 140 civilians and wounded over 550 at a funeral gathering.
