The National Commission for Investigation into Alleged Human Rights Violations accused the Houthi militia of abducting 182 Yemeni women in Sanaa, Amran and Hodeidah.

“The militia is holding 100 women in three rooms in a prison in the capital Sanaa, 70 women in a prison in Amran province and the rest 12 in Hodeidah,” the member of the Commission Ashraq al-Maqtari said on her twitter page.

The Houthi rebels militia “took these women from schools and homes with the aid trick, but the main reason was to pressure their families because of intellectual and political differences,” she said

Al-Maqtari called on Yemeni activists to pressure Houthis through the UN envoy to stop abducting women and then blackmailing their families.
