On May 16, 2020, a devastating coalition airstrike in Yemen left 15 women and children dead. A subsequent investigation by Mwatana Organization for Human Rights uncovered a crucial piece of evidence: a shard with Raytheon's identification number.
The discovery led to a report that implicated the US defense contractor in the attack, raising questions about a Saudi-led investigation that claimed the strike targeted Houthi rebel commanders.
“We document, and we publish,” said Radhya Almutawakel, co-founder of Mwatana. “This is the work we do.”
