GENEVA-SABA
Amnesty International called for the immediate and unconditional release of five Baha'i followers who were arbitrarily abducted by the terrorist Houthi militias in Sana'a without charges for nearly a year.

In a press statement Thursday, the organization expressed concern about the possibility of further violations against the abductees, including torture and other ill-treatment.

The organization mentioned that among the five Baha'is who are still being held arbitrarily are two humanitarian workers, Abdulelah Mohammed al-Bawni, 30 years old, and Hassan Tarek Thabit al-Zekri, 28 years old, and a human rights activist Abdullah al-Ulefy, 45 years old.

The other two abductees are Mohammed Bashir Abduljalil, 25 years old and Ibrahim Ahmed Juail, 49 years old.
