Houthis detain 278 Yemenis over September 26th
The article discusses the escalation of the Houthis' campaign of arrests and abductions in Yemen, coinciding with the 26th September Revolution anniversary. The Yemeni Network for Rights and Freedoms documented over 278 cases of arrest in recent days across nine governorates. These included arbitrary actions such as detaining individuals on roads, in homes, mosques, and markets, as well as confiscating phones and documents. The crackdown focused on celebrants or those preparing to commemorate the anniversary, in an attempt to prevent expressions of celebration and tighten restrictions on opponents of the Houthi ideology. This is considered a violation of human rights and freedom of expression. Since the start of the war, the network has recorded more than 22,000 cases of arrests, enforced disappearances, and torture. Over 5,300 detainees remain in the group's prisons, with most cases involving politicians, activists, journalists, children, and women. The network also documented that approximately 1,937 detainees have been subjected to torture, and 166 have died inside prisons—some executed, others due to neglect or heart attacks. There are cases of permanent disabilities resulting from torture, with the report pointing to the group's leadership being responsible for these violations.
