Rights Groups Warn Houthis Prosecuting Aid Workers for Espionage
Original: Rights groups raise concerns over Houthis prosecuting civil society workers for espionage
Rights organisations are raising alarm over the Houthi authorities' prosecution of civil society workers in Yemen on espionage charges. Human rights monitors say the trials target humanitarian and civil society personnel and violate fair trial standards, warning the charges could intimidate aid organisations operating in Houthi-controlled areas and deepen Yemen's humanitarian crisis.
Why now: New prosecutions of civil society workers by Houthi authorities have prompted human rights groups to speak out, drawing attention to shrinking civic space in Yemen.
