Yemen's Houthis Expand Their Detention Centers in Amran
Human rights reports have revealed that the Houthi group is expanding its network of detention centers in Amran province, establishing more than 14 new prisons across several districts in recent months, raising concerns over the increasing number of arrests and violations against activists and opposition members.
Local sources reported that the group is working on setting up additional prisons and expanding existing ones to accommodate more detainees, amid growing complaints about the abuses faced by those held in these facilities.
Human rights organizations have described this expansion as part of a repressive strategy aimed at intimidating opponents and silencing dissenting voices. They have called on the international community to urgently intervene to curb these violations and ensure the protection of human rights in Yemen.
Recently, Amran province has witnessed a notable increase in arrest campaigns and political targeting, while effective efforts to end this escalating humanitarian crisis remain absent.
