A Yemeni human rights organization documented the Iran-backed Houthi militias’ torture of more than 17,000 prisoners since their coup in Yemen in September 2014.
In a report marking International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, the Yemeni Organization for Prisoners and Abductees said the Houthis tortured to death 178 detainees, including 10 children and three women. It also documented 16 death cases caused by deliberate medical negligence.
