Houthis Prosecute UN and Civil Society Staff in Yemen
Original: Yemen: Houthis Prosecute UN, Civil Society Staff
The Houthi authorities in Yemen have put UN employees and civil society workers on trial, according to Human Rights Watch. The cases are part of a broader crackdown that has seen dozens of staff from aid organisations and rights groups detained by the movement. Human rights advocates say the prosecutions are politically motivated and will further hamper humanitarian operations in a country already facing one of the world's worst aid crises.
Why now: Human Rights Watch has just published a report highlighting the prosecutions, drawing fresh attention to the Houthi crackdown on aid and rights workers.
