2007: "Nearly a quarter Yemen's Jews have fled their village and
sought refuge at a hotel in the Arab country after militant Islamists
threatened to kill them for selling alcohol, a government official said
on Monday. ...
Just 200 Jews live in Yemen after thousands were evacuated to Israel in 1948.
"The
Shi'ite militants of (Abdel-Malik) al-Houthi sent threats to them
(Jews) because they sell wine," the official told Reuters. The Jewish
community denied they sold wine."

19 Feb 2015: " Yemeni
Jews, like those in other Arab countries, have suffered wave after wave
of persecution. Originally many of them lived in Saada Province in the
north, which was predominantly Zaydi, members of an offshoot of Shiite
Islam that historically were anti-Semitic. The Houthis, whose base is in
Saada, embedded that attitude in their slogan, “Death to America, death
to Israel, damnation to the Jews.”
The
Houthis fought a succession of wars with the central government
beginning in 2004, and in 2007, a Houthi representative in Saada gave
Jews there an ultimatum: Leave in 10 days or face attack. Yemen’s
president then, Mr. Saleh, though a Zaydi himself, became a champion of
the Jews from Saada. At government expense, Mr. Saleh relocated them to a
gated community in Sana next to the American Embassy."
20 Feb 2009: "A
few worried families are all that remain of Yemen's ancient Jewish
community, and they too may soon flee after a Shi'ite Muslim militia
seized power in the strife-torn country this month.
Harassment
by the Houthi movement - whose motto is "Death to America, death to
Israel, curse the Jews, victory to Islam" - caused Jews in recent years
to largely quit the northern highlands they shared with Yemen's Shi'ites
for millennia.

The
Huthi armed group in control of parts of Yemen must immediately ensure
the release of all 27 members of the Bahá’í religion who have been
detained in the capital, Sana’a, for a week without charge, in a blatant
case of persecution of a minority faith.
....
In
another case, Bahá’í member Hamed Haydara is due for his final court
hearing on 25 September 2016. He was detained in December 2013 and
accused of trying to convert Muslims to the Baha’i faith.
He is also charged, among other things, with apostasy, working on
behalf of the Israeli government and undermining the independence of the
Yemeni State, all of which carry a mandatory death sentence under
Yemeni law.

30 Nov 2016:
Authorities in Yemen’s
capital, Sanaa, should immediately and unconditionally release a Baha’i
man arbitrarily detained for nearly four months and end persecution of
the Baha’i religious community, Human Rights Watch said today.
Keyvan
Qadari, 43, is the last of five dozen Baha’is detained after mass
arrests on August 10, 2016. Most were released within days, but two
other men were held until November 27, and then released. Qadari has not
been charged, brought before a judge, or given access to a lawyer. The
authorities have repeatedly refused to allow him to meet with his
family, permitting only a single phone call in September.
....
Sanaa-based authorities have arbitrarily arrested and detained members of the Bahai’i community previously. This includes Hamed Kamal Muhammad bin Haydara,
who has been detained since December 2013, and is facing the death
penalty, apparently for his religious beliefs. His next court hearing is
on December 4. Houthi authorities earlier detained the al-Sakkaf
brothers for two days after they attended a hearing in Haydara’s case in
March 2015, interrogating them about their faith and other members of
the community.

1 Dec 2016: Yemen conflict: Terror of life under siege in Taiz
https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2017/03/yemen-photoblog-2017/
March 2017:
Two years into the war in Yemen, civilians continue to pay the heaviest price. As of February 2017, over 4,667 civilians have been killed, 8,180 have been injured and at least 3 million people have been forced to flee their homes. All sides to the conflict have failed to take the precautions necessary to spare civilians and civilian objects. The Saudi Arabia-led coalition has bombed schools, hospitals, markets and mosques, and has used internationally banned cluster munitions. Pro and anti-Huthi forces have used imprecise weapons in heavily populated civilian areas and have launched attacks from near homes, schools and hospitals.

21 April 2017:
Orders
for the arrest of at least 25 Baha'is have been issued by certain
authorities in Sana'a who are harassing the Yemeni Baha'is and
pressuring them to recant their faith.
The
baseless and nonsensical accusations levelled against the Baha'is
include showing kindness and displaying rectitude of conduct in order to
attract people to their Faith. These accusations bear a striking
resemblance to those encountered by the Baha'is in Iran, and in fact,
reports indicate the influence of Iranian authorities behind incidents
transpiring in Yemen.

18 August 2017:
On Monday, security agents with Yemen’s rebel Houthi movement arrested Omeisy in the capital, Sanaa, and they are holding him in an undisclosed location without access to a lawyer or his family, two international human rights groups said Friday in statements.
“Hisham al-Omeisy has been detained without charge or a court appearance in breach of Yemen’s constitution, which requires anybody arrested to be presented in court within 24 hours,” Samah Hadid, director of Amnesty International’s advocacy campaigns in the Middle East, said in statement.
In recent months, dozens of activists, journalists, lawyers and others critical of the rebel Houthi government and its partner, former president Ali Abdullah Saleh, have been arbitrarily arrested or have vanished into the security apparatus, human rights groups say. Some have been tortured or have died in custody, the groups say.
What makes Omeisy’s detention surprising is that he was mostly critical of the Saudi-led coalition backing the government of President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, who is trying to oust the rebels from Sanaa and much of the north. The coalition has launched numerous airstrikes that have killed thousands of civilians, including children, according to the United Nations.

https://www.hrw.org/news/2017/09/27/yemen-coalitions-blocking-aid-fuel-endangers-civilians
27 Sep 2017:
A UN Panel of Experts reported in June that the Houthis had earned up to US$1.14 billion from fuel and oil distribution on the black market, and that fuel was “one of the main sources of revenue for the Houthis.” Houthi-Saleh forces apparently also use imported fuel for military purposes. However, preventing or excessively delaying fuel imports from reaching civilians is contributing to the collapse of the health system, a lack of access to uncontaminated water, and increased costs that make food and basic goods unaffordable for impoverished Yemenis. The substantial harm to civilians is disproportionate to any concrete and direct military advantage to the coalition, in violation of international humanitarian law, Human Rights Watch said.
The Houthi armed group and forces loyal to former Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh have also
blocked or confiscated aid intended for civilians and imposed onerous and unnecessary restrictions on aid workers and interfered with aid delivery. Aid groups have pulled out staff or ceased working in some areas due to these restrictions.

20 Oct 2017:
The youth minister in war-torn
Yemen’s rebel government has proposed suspending school classes for a year and sending pupils and teachers to the front.
Hassan Zaid, the minister for youth and sports in an administration set up by Iran-backed Huthi rebels, suggested pupils and teachers could be armed.
“Wouldn’t we be able to reinforce the ranks with hundreds of thousands (of fighters) and win the battle?” he wrote on Facebook.
