In a sweeping campaign across several Yemeni provinces, including Al-Bayda, Ibb, and Raymah, the Houthi militia has reportedly raided mosques, abducted imams, and shut down Quran memorization centers.
Among the documented cases are the arrests of Sheikh Ahmed Al-Wahashi and Sheikh Ibrahim Abduljabbar, as well as the forced closure of the “Taj Al-Waqar” center.
The crackdown has also involved replacing mosque libraries with sectarian literature, barring religious lessons, and forcibly expelling families of religious leaders.
According to Rights Radar, more than 735 violations against religious figures have been recorded since the outbreak of war, including 51 killings and over 560 abductions.
