The human rights organization Rights Radar announced on Saturday that it has documented more than 428 incidents of aggression against those celebrating the 62nd anniversary of the September 26 Revolution across ten Yemeni provinces. These attacks were attributed to extensive suppression campaigns executed by the Houthi group, which is internationally classified as a terrorist organization.

In a statement reviewed by Barran Press, the organization reported that cases of arbitrary arrests, abductions, and enforced disappearances topped the list of documented violations. The report revealed that 235 incidents of aggression were recorded, including 16 cases of enforced disappearance, with victims comprising 16 children and one woman.

The documented violations varied from arbitrary detention and enforced disappearance to physical and verbal assaults, as well as home raids.

Rights Radar also highlighted statements from Houthi leaders inciting violence against the celebrators, including calls for beheadings and beatings with batons. Videos circulating online depicted Houthi preparations to suppress civilian protests.

According to the report, Ibb province had the highest number of violations, with 179 cases, followed by the capital, Sana'a, with 109 incidents. Dhamar ranked third with 56 cases, while Al-Hudaydah recorded 37 cases, and Taiz documented 13. Other provinces included Al-Mahwit with 12 cases, Amran with 8, Al-Bayda and Hajjah with 6 each, and finally, Al-Dhale with 2 cases.

In Ibb alone, 95 civilians were arrested, including four individuals who have been forcibly disappeared with their fates still unknown. The report also noted 48 cases of physical assault, 22 cases of verbal abuse, and 14 home invasions. rights sources confirmed that over 150 abduction cases were recorded in Ibb within just two days, with more than 16 cases documented in Al-Dhale, complete with names.

In Sana'a, the second-highest number of abductions was reported, with 60 individuals captured or missing, including 9 enforced disappearances, 25 cases of physical assault, 17 home invasions, and 7 instances of verbal abuse.

Dhamar province recorded 31 arrests, with 3 enforced disappearances, 10 physical assaults, 7 verbal abuses, and 11 home raids. In Al-Hudaydah, 14 cases of arrest and abduction were noted, alongside 7 physical assaults, 10 verbal attacks, and 6 home invasions.

Since early September, Ibb has seen a widespread abduction campaign by the Houthis targeting individuals celebrating the September 26 Revolution. The crackdown has affected tribal and political leaders, journalists, activists, as well as university and school students, and even some vendors in public markets. These campaigns have extended to provinces under Houthi control, including Sana'a, Dhamar, Amran, and Al-Hudaydah.

Next Thursday, Yemenis will celebrate the 62nd anniversary of the establishment of the republic and the fall of the imamate regime on September 26, 1962. As the month began, many Yemenis adorned their social media pages with slogans and chants commemorating the revolution.

Since the Houthis seized control and were designated as a terrorist organization, they have sought to erase the celebration of the September 26 Revolution, excluding it from educational curricula and media narratives, while promoting the anniversary of their takeover of the capital on September 21, 2014.

The September 26 Revolution, which took place in northern Yemen in 1962, aimed to overthrow the Zaydi imamate, leading to the establishment of the Yemen Arab Republic. This was followed by the October 14 Revolution in 1963 against British colonial rule in southern Yemen, which ended with independence on November 30, 1967.
