The Association of the Yemeni Abductees' Mothers launched a call on Monday to the Houthi militia to release one of the abducted who is in its prisons in Ibb Governorate, in the center of the country, and who has been on hunger strike for nearly two months.

In a statement issued by it, the Association stated that it had received an urgent report from the family of the 26-year-old abducted captive, the Asaad Abdo Ahmed al-Wuaayl, stating that his health condition had severely deteriorated after his continuous hunger strike for 50 days in protest against his continued abducting and to demand his release after being subjected to torture by the Houthi militia in the Political Security prison in Ibb Governorate, which led to him suffering from spinal and nervous system pains, according to the testimony of his relatives.

The Association added: "The Houthi militia had abducted al-Waayl on March 30, 2017, while he was returning to his village from Sanaa, bringing with him the requirements for his wedding ceremony, which was scheduled to take place 4 days after his return, but the Houthis abducted his joy before the completion of the wedding ceremony."

The Association of the Abductees' Mothers held the Houthi militia in the Political Security Prison in Ibb Governorate fully responsible for the life and health of the abducted prisoner, al-Waayl, demanding his speedy release and saving his life.

The Association of the Abductees’ Mothers condemned the Houthis’ ban on visits from the abducted al-Waayl to force him to break his strike to gain his freedom and called on the Red Cross and the High Commissioner for Human Rights to pressure the Houthis to release him and save his life before it is too late.

And a Yemeni human rights network had revealed that it had monitored 1,110 cases of abducting, enforced disappearance and torture of detainees, including 39 children and 46 women, during the first half of this year 2021, committed by Houthi militias in several Governorates.

In a report, the Yemeni Network for Rights and Freedoms documented, during the period from January 1 to June 31, 2021, 976 cases of arbitrary disappearance and arrest of civilians, including 35 children and 38 women, 92 cases of enforced disappearance and 42 cases of torture.

Since its coup against the legitimate authority in September 2014, thousands of Yemeni abductees have died in the prisons of the Houthi militia, who have been subjected to various forms of torture and deprived of their basic rights.
