Crimes of Iran-backed Houthis highlighted, kidnapped 359 children, 88 women, killed 132 hostages

Human Rights watchdogs have been issuing a series of reports documenting the crimes committed by the Houthi militias against Yemen citizens since violence erupted in 2014.

Crimes committed by Houthis reached hundreds of children and women, thousands of workers, students, politicians, physicians, intellectuals and media figures.

A statistic recording the Houthi militias’ crimes showed the group tortured and killed at least three people per month, abducted 359 children, 88 women and 18,750 individuals, and also tortured and killed 132 kidnapped individuals.

The recent reports were issued to monitor and document such heinous crimes and violations to human rights perpetuated by Houthis militia.

Moreover, another report by a Yemeni human rights watchdog said the Houthis forcibly displaced 619 families, destroyed about 45 public properties and 211 private properties in Taiz.

Discrimination and persecution characterizes the Iran-backed group’s actions, civilians in Houthi-held territory are subject to killing, torture and food scarcity. They are also denied the right to education and face forced recruitment.
