Sanaa- The Yemeni Journalists Syndicate expressed its concern over the harsh conditions of the kidnapping of journalist Mohammed Al-Mayahy in the Houthi militia detention centers, calling for his release and that of all kidnapped journalists in Sana'a and Aden.

 It explained that Al-Mayahy has been in a Houthi detention center since September 20, under poor detention conditions and an unknown fate due to an opinion case. The Syndicate renewed its condemnation of this repressive approach against a journalist who carries nothing but his pen and opinion, holding the Houthis responsible for the safety of Al-Mayahy and all those kidnapped by them.

The militia kidnapped Al-Mayahy days after he wrote writings criticizing the militia and its leader, Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi. Local sources said that the militia stormed his home, confiscated his phone and computer, and took him to an unknown location.

This coincided with a kidnapping campaign targeting political leaders and activists on the grounds of their rejection of its project and their calls to celebrate the anniversary of the September 26 Revolution.

Al-Mayahy had harshly criticized the militia, calling for adherence to rejecting its sectarian project and resisting it in all possible ways. In addition, the Houthi militia in Ibb governorate continued its kidnapping campaign linked to popular celebrations of the anniversary of the glorious September Revolution, days after kidnapping more than 30 people. Local sources said that the militia kidnapped 10 people in separate incidents in the districts of Al-Mashnah, Al-Dhahar, Yarim and the Ibb countryside, during the past two days.
