Fourthly: Al Marawaah Directorate:

- Friday, November 19, 2021, the Human Rights Office received a report that Houthi militias stormed the house of Ahmed Rashid and killed his son Ali, and seriously wounded two other of his sons, “Ahmed and Muhammad,” in the Marawaa Directorate after their house was stormed and attacked by a leader in the Houthi militia named Al-Hudayqi and members of the Houthi militia have taken over the house and farm of Ahmed Rashid's family. In addition, the Houthi militia, upon entering the Directorates of Al-Durayhimi, Al-Tahita and Al-Hali, in November 2021, issued orders to replace school curricula with other sectarian curricula that serve the militias’ orientation and contribute to the process of brainwashing students in line with the Houthi militia policy.

addition to all the crimes mentioned in this report, the Human Rights Office received on November 15, 2021 a report issued by the First Brigade Zaraneq of the Joint Forces that the Houthi militia had massacred seven prisoners of the Brigade’s fighters who had been captured by the militia while entering the areas vacated by the Joint Forces in Hodeidah under the Stockholm Agreement.

Migration and forced displacement:

During the period from 9 to 15 November 2021, more than 980 families were displaced from the Al-Durayhimi, Al-Tahita and Al-Hali districts, which the Houthi militia entered, for fear of the Houthi militia’s revenge, not to mention the militia forcibly displacing many of these families. And these families have been displaced to the Khokha Directorate in Hodeidah and the Mokha Directorate of Taiz Governorate. Currently, 380 displaced families reside in a camp recently established in the Al-Waarah area by the humanitarian cell of the national resistance. Also, more than 300 displaced families from Al-Hodeidah are located in the Mocha district, and the rest of the displaced families are distributed in a host community or in rented houses.

And the Human Rights Office in Hodeidah considered that what was stated in its statement is a partial preliminary report on the violations and crimes committed by the Houthi militia against unarmed citizens, and strongly condemned all criminal reprisals committed by the Houthi militia in Hodeidah Governorate, which amounts to war crimes, stressing that all that the Houthi militia is circulating about the execution of its members is nothing but lies to cover up their crimes and violations against defenseless civilians who are currently under the control of the militias in the areas vacated by the Joint Forces under the Stockholm Agreement.

And the Human Rights Office called on the United Nations, the Red Cross and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights to form an urgent committee to investigate the crimes mentioned in this statement (report) and condemn them, and to compel the militias to immediately lift the house arrest they impose on citizens in the areas vacated by the Joint Forces under the Stockholm Agreement.

As well as for the UN Security Council to compel the Houthi militia to implement its part of the Agreement and pressure the militia to withdraw from the city of Hodeidah to the borders stipulated in the Sweden agreement.
