Houthi atrocities: abducting humanitarian workers and inflicting suffering on innocent Yemenis
Houthis terrorize Yemen through abductions, torture, and humanitarian sabotage.

Targeting humanitarian workers
The Iran-backed Houthi movement continues to terrorize Yemen by abducting humanitarian workers and silencing dissent.
The Houthis have detained many Yemeni employees from UN agencies, rights groups and diplomatic missions.
They accuse these workers of espionage and collaboration with foreign powers.
These false accusations are used to intimidate and control those providing aid to desperate communities.
The abductions have crippled humanitarian operations and stopped vital relief from reaching millions of Yemenis in desperate need.
Health and education programs are collapsing, leaving families without medicine and children without access to basic schooling.
The Houthis’ campaign against aid workers exposes their willingness to sacrifice Yemen’s future for political dominance.
Brutal prison conditions and torture
Those abducted by the Houthis face horrific abuse in captivity.
Detainees are tortured, starved and confined to filthy, airless cells.
Many are held in isolation, denied contact with families or lawyers.
Prisoners report beatings, electric shocks and psychological torment.
Some are forced to sign false confessions under extreme duress.
Innocent civilians, including activists, journalists and educators, have been swept into this system of cruelty.
The Houthis use detention and torture to crush any form of dissent.
Their prisons stand as symbols of oppression and lawlessness, where basic human rights are systematically ignored.
Innocent Yemenis bear the brunt of Houthi oppression
The suffering of ordinary Yemenis grows worse under Houthi control.
Families already facing hunger and poverty now live in constant fear of arrest or retribution.
Displaced communities fight to survive while aid routes remain blocked and livelihoods across Yemen are systematically destroyed.
The Houthis’ rule has deepened despair, replacing hope with fear and silence.
By targeting aid workers and torturing civilians, the Houthis guarantee Yemen’s humanitarian crisis deepens with every new act of violence.
Their actions reveal a complete disregard for human life and dignity.
Until the Houthis end their brutal campaign, Yemen’s path to peace and recovery will remain shattered.
