GENEVA-SABA
Nabil Al-Osaydi a member of the Yemeni Journalists' Syndicate has told Kristine Beckerle, the Yemen researcher in the Middle East and North Africa Division of the Human Rights Watchthat Yemeni journalists face serious abuses in the jails of the Houthi militia.

In a meeting they held in Geneva, he said that Yemeni journalists face murder, direct crackdown, arrests, abduction at the hands of the militia, in addition to health deterioration in the rebel militia's jails in north Yemen.

He cited the recent Houthi referral of a number of journalists to a security court in Sana'a to subject them to trial.
He referred to the extensive blocking of a number of news websites and newspapers and TV channels by the militia describing that as an unprecedented war against media.

He called on the international community to stand by Yemeni journalists and compel the Houthi militia to release all kidnapped journalists unconditionally, pointing out that some of the detained journalists are suffering from serious health conditions that require their hospitalization.
