The anniversary of the September 26 Revolution has become a chance for Yemenis to voice their opposition to Houthi control in northern Yemen. This revolution, which began in 1962, ended the rule of the Houthis’ predecessors and established the republic.
The Houthis have launched a wave of arrests, detaining dozens of activists in Governorates under their control.
Among those arrested are leaders from the General People’s Congress (GPC), the party founded by the late President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Sources report that the Houthis have increased their presence in their control areas.
They are stopping pedestrians and searching phones and vehicles for national flags or materials promoting celebrations for the revolution’s anniversary.
