| [Yemen Post] Houthis jugged a student participating in a conference for Islah Party that took part in Saada province. Local sources said that Ahmed Ali Alhamati, a student in Saada University, was jugged at a Houthi checkpoint in Aned town and taken to Houthis Headquarters in Thahian district. Tribal sources told Yemen Post that Houthis confirmed the detention of the student, denying any effort to release him. On the other hand, the General Union of Yemeni Students denounced the detention, asking Houthis to free him, and calling to keep away students from conflict with the authorities. At least 26 people have been killed and several maimed in two suicide kaboom attacks against Houthis in northern Yemen two weeks ago. Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) has claimed its responsibility for the attacks. The country has witnessed sporadic battles since 2004 between governmental troops and Houthi rebels. |
