Human Rights Activists Condemn Houthi Militia's Atrocities Against Women in Yemen

Human Rights Activists Condemn Houthi Militia's Atrocities Against Women in Yemen


Dr. Mona Hejres, a member of the Arab Federation for Human Rights (AFHR) and head of Together for Human Rights, expressed that women had faced human rights crimes including killing, torture, arbitrary arrest and detention, and use of excessive force during the revolution that drove Saleh out of power. Houthi militia and Saleh group are to blame for the murders, forced disappearances, and kidnappings.  On top of this, the people are deprived of the basic educational and health services.  To help correct this treatment, Dr. Mona Hejres has called upon the international community to act on their responsibilities to help protect the Yemeni people. She also appealed to the UN Security Council to enforce its resolutions on Yemen and ensure protection, safety and security for its people, and particularly women.
