Rights Groups Condemn Houthi Prosecution of Civil Society Workers
Original: Rights groups raise concerns over Houthis prosecuting civil society workers for espionage
Rights groups are raising concerns that the Houthis are prosecuting civil society workers in Yemen on espionage charges. Human rights organisations say the cases target humanitarian and civic actors and warn the prosecutions could further restrict civil society space in areas under Houthi control. Details of the number of workers affected or the specific charges remain limited.
