Yemen: Houthis Arbitrarily Detain, Disappear Christians, HRW Says

Houthi authorities have arbitrarily arrested over 20 Christians in Yemen over the last three months, Human Rights Watch said Monday. The Houthis should immediately release them, along with the hundreds of others they are arbitrarily detaining across the areas of Yemen under their control.

“Rather than addressing the alarming rates of hunger that Yemenis are facing, the Houthis seem to only know how to arrest and detain people,” said Niku Jafarnia, Yemen and Bahrain researcher at Human Rights Watch.
