The Journalists Syndicate called on the organizations concerned with freedom of expression, foremost of which is the Union of Arab Journalists and the International Federation of Journalists, to show solidarity with the Yemen Digital Company and to press for an end to these repressive measures.

The CEO of the Yemen Digital Company, Taha Al-Maamari, said that the Houthi militia, on Sunday, stormed his company that provides media services to television channels, and fabricated charges with the aim of seizing it, closing it, confiscating it and preventing employees from entering it.  The company has also appointed other guards.
