The people of the old city of Taiz have buried their friend, the young man,  'Hashim al-Shami' who was killed by the militias of the Popular Crowd belonging to the Islah Party.

Jamal al-Asmar, a friend of the martyr al-Shami, resides in the old city of Taiz, al-Asmar said " Hashim al-Shami is a simple family, the families in the old city of Taiz are workers, …... they did not care about politics or about political parties.. on Friday the Islah's security committee surrounded the city, including their snipers, Hashim and his mother were at their house.. Hashim's mother was fasting, she asked her son to bring her fast breaking as everyday she fasts.  

The city was besieged from all directions, shelling and sniping reached all the neighborhoods in the city, and Hashim was one of al-Bab al-Kabeer inhabitant.

" He went to the market where he lived in… but a bullet of the sniper the Popular Crowd of the Islah Party penetrated his eye and his head.

Jamal al-Asmar continued his talking about Hashim: "His mother's crying was the master of that day, she did not leave us a space to cry along with her, she was saying that she was the reason of behind his killing ' for ordering her son to bring food from the market'."

Al-Asmar continued that "Hashim was not a warrior or fighter".

The day before he death", I met him at al-Bab al-Kabeer and the sniping was shelling heavily. Hashim smiled at me and told me in a slang of the people of the city: " oh leader, we do not interfere what are going on, I asked him where do you go? ..I said to him " yes, we do not interfere of what are going on, we laughed together , our laughs were the last.".
