Background of Violations

The Yemeni Network attributes these crimes to the extreme mobilization and systematic incitement practiced by the Houthi militia. 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.

This report sheds light on the ongoing human rights crisis in Yemen, emphasizing the urgent need for international intervention and support.
