outhi armed group in Yemen has frequently taken hostages and committed other serioThe Hus abuses against people in their custody.
Since late 2014, when Houthi forces occupied Yemen's capital, Sanaa, Human Rights Watch has documented dozens of cases of the Houthis and forces loyal to the late President Ali Abdullah Saleh carrying out arbitrary and abusive detention, as well as forced disappearances and torture.
Former detainees described Houthi officers beating them with iron rods, wooden sticks, and assault rifles. Guards whipped prisoners, shackled them to walls, caned their feet, and threatened to rape them or their family members, former detainees said. Several people described being hung from a wall by their arms shackled behind them as one of the most painful techniques.
Human Rights Watch has collected testimony from former detainees.

When the Saudi government agreed to let women drive, major car companies publicly and rightly hailed that development. Now the women who campaigned for it are being jailed. Help us call on car companies to support the release of these courageous activists today!
