Sana'a, Newsyemen:
Al-Houthi militia in Sanaa on Wednesday (January 20th) closed a restaurant and removed plastic objects for women's clothing shows in a shopping mall in Sanaa.
Al-Houthi militia, the Iranian arm in Yemen, closed the Al-Rinbo restaurant, located in al-Wahda district southwest of the capital, the political district, and attacked a women's clothing store on a huge street in The Oin directorate, to remove plastic clothing displays.
Such practices have been repeated in Sana'a since the Coup of the Houthi militia in September 2024, under several names, including "causing a delay in victory."
The Houthi militia's practices towards markets, public places, cafes and personal freedoms in Sana'a are characterized by extremist tendencies reminiscent of taliban tactics in Afghanistan.
In earlier times, the militia launched similar campaigns targeting shops selling, sewing, and women's gowns in Sana'a, collecting and burning the waistband, which is part of the balloon content, and attacking weddings and graduation ceremonies for university students.
Militia preachers in some mosques are waging inflammatory campaigns against women in Sana'a, claiming that plastic structures made to display clothing cause sedition and spoil public taste.
The Houthi militia closed limited women's rest rooms in Sana'a, imposed restrictions on the names of restaurants, institutes and private schools, and sat in the faces of women in regular commercials on the streets of Sana'a and the doors of a number of shopping malls.
Activists in Sana'a commented on these practices in sarcastic terms, saying that "the crises of oil derivatives in Sana'a and the rise in prices to 15,000 riyals for gasoline bears with a capacity of 20 liters, is because of these figures".
A young man who works in a shop next to the Rainbow restaurant said that a rainbow mural is the reason for "the continuing crises of domestic gas and the high prices of domestic gas".
