Houthi-controlled court in Yemen sentences 19 to death for aiding Saudi-led coalition
The court also gave four defendants prison terms and dropped charges against five others after their deaths, the ministry said.
- On Sunday, The Specialized Criminal Court in Sanaa sentenced 19 people to death for collaborating with the Saudi-led coalition, according to the Houthi-run Justice Ministry.
- Yemen plunged into civil war in 2014 when the Houthis seized Sanaa and forced the government into exile; the Saudi-led coalition intervened the following year to restore state authority.
- Defendants were accused of establishing an armed group providing support to the Saudi-led coalition between 2015 and 2023, attacking Houthi-manned checkpoints in Dhale province. Four others received prison terms of two to 10 years.
- Sunday's verdict arrived days after the Houthis and Yemen's internationally recognized government agreed to the largest prisoner swap, with 1,600 detainees set for release from both sides.
- Harsh sentences for alleged collaboration are common in Houthi-controlled areas; in November, a Sanaa court sentenced 17 people to death, and in September 2021, the rebels executed nine people convicted in the killing of senior official Saleh al-Samad.
