Iran-backed Houthis arrest dozens of Africans refugees

The Iran-backed Houthis launched on Tuesday a large-scale campaign of arrests that targeted dozens of Africans, Ethiopian and Somalis refugees, from several streets in Sanaa.

Human rights sources told Khabar Agency that the Houthis took the arrested refugees to forcibly recruit them into their training camps and then send them to the frontlines.

The Houthis demanded them to pay $200 per person in exchange for their release or to be sent to the frontlines. The sources said.
