The Ministry of Human Rights in the legitimate government said, on Saturday, that it had monitored hundreds of cases of torture against abductees in the prisons of the Houthi militia, some of which led to killing during the past two years.
In a statement, the ministry stated that it had monitored 1,635 cases of torture in Houthi militia prisons in the past two years, and more than 350 cases of murder under torture, including 33 abducted women who were subjected to torture leading to death.
It added that a number of abductees died as a result of negligence and the deterioration of their health, in light of the continued denial of treatment, and others were subjected to physical liquidation inside militia prisons.
The statement condemned the heinous criminal acts practiced by the Houthi militias, foremost of which are acts of torture and violation of the right to life, which affected the abductees and those forcibly disappeared in its prisons, the latest of which was the heinous crime committed against the kidnapper in its prisons in Dhamar Governorate, the citizen (Mohsen Muhammad Al-Qadi, 28 years old).
He explained that the citizen judge died under torture after he was kidnapped from his home in the Azzan neighborhood and forcibly hidden for a year and a half to bring out a lifeless and mutilated corpse by severe and systematic torture.
The ministry pointed out that this crime comes as an extension of a series of crimes and grave violations committed by the Houthi militia against the abductees and the men, women and children who are hidden in their detention centers and who are subjected to the worst types of physical and psychological torture and cruel and inhuman treatment.
The citizen, Mohsen Muhammad Ali Al-Qadi, 38, who was kidnapped by the Houthi militia from his home in the “Azan” neighborhood of Dhamar a year and a half ago, died under torture in one of its prisons in the governorate.
Human rights sources had accused the terrorist Houthi militia of liquidating the kidnapped Muhsin al-Qadi, who was hidden from his family for more than a year and a half in its prisons, and they knew nothing about him except the news of his death.
It explained that the militias contacted the victim's family a few days ago, and informed them of the presence of their son's body in the refrigerator of the Dhamar General Hospital, long after his arrest from his family.
