Background of Violations

They utilize what they call “cultural courses” and “summer centers,” which have become tools for recruiting youth and indoctrinating them with extremist ideas and loyalty to Iran.
Call to the International Community
The Yemeni Network for Rights and Freedoms urges the United Nations and international human rights organizations to condemn these daily violations. They call for immediate and unconditional release of all abducted individuals.
