MARIB-SABA
A number of young activists have called on the United Nations to pressure the Houthi rebel militia to release fellow activists they had abducted and detained over the past years.

In aseminarorganized by the Yemeni Organization for Prisoners and Abductees in Marib on Monday, the activists said the activists abduction is a human rights issue not a political one and therefore the UN has to act and pressure the Houthi militants to release them unconditionally, at least as a token of good faith before the anticipated peace talks with the government.

The participants also demanded the government to ensure the payment of salaries to the families of public employees who are in Houthi jails.

They recommended the international community to work to refer the leaders of the Houthi coupist militia to the international courts in connection with their atrocities against the general civilians and more severely against the peaceful oppositionists to the militia's ideology.
