GENEVA-SABA

The Yemeni Alliance for Monitoring Human Rights Violations delivered reports to the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Geneva on Saturday.

The reports covered the Saleh-Houthi militia's committed violations against civilians and human rights defenders in Yemen's different cities and provinces.

In the meeting with the secretariat, a member of the Alliance, Riyadh Moqbel, acquainted the secretariat about the militia's violations ranging from torture, abduction to child soldier recruitments within their controlled parts of the country.

Moqbel said the situation of the 148 journalists in the militia's custody is degrading. Some of the cases are even more tragic, Moqbel said, citing the case of Yhaya al-Jubeihi a veteran journalist whom the militia sentenced to death recently.

Moqbel said many of his organization's observers were subjected to threats, kidnapping or even had their houses bombed by the coup militia.

The Alliance crew called on the UN Spec. Rapporteur to issue clear stern messages to the coup militias to stop killing civilians and threatening activists and to free the prisoners in their custody.
