The Houthi militia released a female activist in the area of human rights on Friday in the city of Hodeidah as a result of pressures practiced by the Yemeni government and the head of the new UN commission, General Michael Anker Lollesgaard.

This comes not less than a week after the kidnapping of a female activist in Sanaa by the militias of Houthi within the series of Houthi's crimes exercised against women in Yemen by kidnapping them and the allocating secret prisons in which torture is practiced.

Military sources in Hodeidah reported that the Houthi militias released the activist, Zikra Saeed Abdullah, who was kidnapped by the militia while working in a humanitarian organization in early January.

In a publication on his Facebook account, Brigadier General Ahmad al-Kokbani, commander of the Tihamah brigades and a member of the government team in the Hodeidah redeployment committee, said the Houthis had kidnapped the woman on charges of "spying" according to them. Al-Kokbani said he had informed the head of the former redeployment committee, Dutch General Patrick Camert, his team, and the government team. In the first meeting with representatives of the Houthis in the Joint Commission, al-Kokbani demanded the release of this woman.

He added that after the rejection of the Houthis and their reluctance to release her, "we demanded the release of her in return for the release of a Houthi prisoner, was approved, and then they handed over this woman to us in the port."

He also pointed out that this activist had to be approved by the World Food Organization, owner of the ship, so as to be able to climb with the team that was negotiating on the ship "Vos Apollo" since the beginning of last week.

"Then I told Lollesgaard that if this woman was not allowed to board the ship, I would get out of the ship with her and I will only leave the place with the woman." In this act, the government team was solidarity with me, where the members of this team affirmed that they would only leave with the activist. Accordingly, we have been in contact with the political leadership and the Arab Alliance, who have made a great effort until the abductee was allowed to travel with us," during the government team went to Aden.

Houthi's militia kidnapped two weeks ago the activist Awfa al-Nu'ami and her colleague Hassan al-Qutari, who work for Sever World International, from the capital Sanaa.

In a statement, the Association of the Abductees' Mothers said that the Houthis took al-Nu'ami and her colleague to an unknown area, pointing out that the repeated violations and kidnappings against women and activists took place in the capital Sana'a without any human, moral or legal deterrent.

The Association added, "The phenomenon of kidnapping women is a dangerous precedent in our tribal and conservative society, in which women have high rank and this society criminates the violation of them, then how to be the situation in case of abduction and enforced disappearance for months without knowing their fate or the cause of abduction."

And the Association called for the cessation of violations against women, which reached the death sentence on some of them such as Asmaa al-Omaisi, stressing the United Nations stand in front of these violations and work to release these women unconditionally.

On Friday, local sources confirmed that the Iranian-backed Houthi coup militia kidnapped a number of girls from women's sessions in Sanaa in the past few days and that elements of the so-called "Zinbiyat" are implemented kidnappings of women.

The sources quoted that a brother of one of the abducted girls as saying: "After his sister came out of the women's session, one of the Zinbiyat, who were in the same session, chased her in secret and watched her to find out where her house was. The next day, his sister was arrested from her house while going shopping.

The sources added that after four days of the disappearance, the girl's brother received information that his sister was being held in a secret prison of the Houthis in the capital because of her criticism of Abdul Malik al-Houthi at a women session.

In mid-January, the journalist and activist of the Houthi group Muhammad al-Daylami and the pro-group activist Essam al-Awwawi revealed criminal acts being carried out by security forces of the Houthi group in the capital Sana'a.

Al-Daylami and al-Awwawi published a letter containing information on the abduction and disappearance of women in Sana'a. They pointed out that the leader in the Houthi group Sultan Zabin, appointed by the group as director of the Criminal Investigation Department in the capital Sana'a, is holding dozens of women illegally and absurdly.

Al-Awwawi accused Zabin of tampering with the honor of people and trafficking in women. He also bought a house in the area of Asir next to the conference hall for 150 million Riyals, and rented a villa on Taiz Street and turned it into a private prison, in which he holds dozens of kidnapped women.
