Aden - Reports have surfaced alleging that the Houthi militia has kidnapped dozens of civilians in Yemen's Hodeidah Governorate under accusations of espionage. 

Local sources claim that the individuals were detained after receiving aid from a Yemeni businessman, which the militia interpreted as evidence of collaboration with foreign entities.

The detainees, reportedly taken without due process, include residents from various districts in Hodeidah. 

Human rights activists have condemned these actions, describing them as part of a broader pattern of arbitrary arrests and enforced disappearances carried out by the Houthis in areas under their control.

This incident has sparked outrage among local and international observers, who view it as a violation of basic human rights and an attempt to suppress dissent. 

Advocacy groups are calling for the immediate release of the detainees and urging the international community to hold the Houthi leadership accountable for these actions.

The situation in Hodeidah highlights the ongoing challenges faced by civilians in conflict zones, where allegations of abuse and unlawful detentions continue to emerge. 

The international community remains watchful as calls for justice and accountability grow louder.
