Houthi militia kills child under torture after he refused to participate in a "sectarian" course in Sana'a

A human rights official said that the terrorist Houthi militia killed a child under torture after he refused to participate in a "sectarian" course called for by the militia.

The Director of the Human Rights Office in the Capital Secretariat, human rights activist Fahmi Al-Zubairi, stated in his post on the ( x ) platform, late last night, that the Houthi militia killed the child "Radad Saleh Ghaleb" from the sons of the Nehm District in Sana'a Governorate, after he refused to participate in their sectarian courses and recruit him.

Al-Zubairi explained that the child, "Radad", was subjected to brutal torture by the militia until he died, before they hid his body for a week.

Al-Zubairi pointed out that the Houthi leader Ali Al-Saqqaf is trying to pressure the family of the child Radad to accept tribal arbitration, but the child's family rejects this pressure so far and demands justice.

This comes at a time when human rights reports indicated that the terrorist Houthi militia has intensified its recruitment of children and young people over the past year and subjected them to sectarian courses and brainwashing through summer camps.
