DUBAI: Yemen has revealed that 200 hostages and kidnapped people were killed under systematic torture by Houthi militia in prisons over the past seven years, state news agency SABA reported.
The ill-treatment and denial of primary health care needs led to the disability and death of hundreds of hostages held captive by the Houthis, the report added, quoting Jamal Al-Maamari, head of the Erada Organization to Combat Torture and Enforced Disappearance.
He also said that the militia has been known to use its more than 13,000 kidnapped victims as human shields by detaining them in Houthi training camps, headquarters and warehouses, which are the most targeted locations by the Arab coalition forces.
