The Houthi militia kidnapped citizens and forcibly disappeared them, in view of opinions published on social media, in flagrant violation of human rights principles, laws and the Yemeni constitution.

The lawyer, Abdulbasit Ghazi, revealed his presence in the criminal prosecution, run by the Houthi militia, an investigation against a Yemeni citizen believed to have been forcibly hidden in the militia's prisons for a long time.

He pointed out that the kidnapped citizen is from the Hodeidah governorate (57 years), and the Houthi militia accuses him of (publishing on Facebook and his participation in the WhatsApp group).

On his Facebook page, lawyer Abdulbasit Ghazi urged citizens to abandon modern (smart) mobile phones, and advised them to use old phones because they are devoid of programs and features of social networking sites.

He said, "The use of modern phones has led to the arrest of many citizens."
