call to the Houthi authorities to immediately release the innocent individuals detained today and to leave the Yemeni Baháʼí community to live and practice their faith in peace. bic.org/news/armed-hou……The@bahai_lu

Absolutely essential that peace negotiations include minorities. A lasting peace cannot be achieved until human rights of all are upheld. The persecution of the Baha’i requires top-level attention & condemnation António Guterres Volker Türk Alice Wairimu Nderitu US Ambassador at Large for Int'l Religious Freedom

Excited to have OPA's, PJ Andrews, join the Religion & Society Program in this endeavor. “The oneness of humanity is the pivot round which revolve all the teachings of the Bahá’í Faith...a statement of principle and an assertion of the ultimate goal of human experience on the planet.

Thank you U.S. Embassy Yemen السفارة الأمريكية لدى اليمن for condemning the raid on a peaceful #Bahai gathering in #Yemen. We urge the Houthis to release the 17 detainees and respect the Freedom of Religion or Belief for all Yemeni citizens.

Seven days since 17 #YemeniBahais, incl 5 women, were forcibly disappeared after armed #Houthis stormed a peaceful gathering. For 7 days families anxiously await news. Among those left behind is a toddler bereft of his parents. The Houthis must release the Baha’is immediately.

EU Heads of Mission are deeply concerned at the recent detention of 17 members of the Baha’i community in Sana’a, including 5 women. They should be released, as well as other members of the Baha’i community detained previously. (1/2)

A powerful statement by the Heads of Mission of the EU in #Yemen calling upon the #Houthis to release the Baha'is detained solely because of their religious beliefs. They must be released immediately!

One of the Baha’is taken during a raid in #Yemen by #Houthi gunmen, on 25 May, is Ahmad Al Malahi who has a life-threatening condition. His health has worsened in detention, and he must be released and treated before it becomes too late. The Houthis are responsible for his life.

أحمد الملاحي أحد البهائيين الذين تم اعتقالهم خلال مداهمة من قبل #الحوثيين في #اليمن يوم 25 مايو يعاني من حالة صحية حرجة تهدد حياته. وقد ساءت صحته أثناء فترة الاحتجاز. يجب الإفراج عنه وعلاجه قبل فوات الأوان. الحوثيون مسؤولون عن سلامته.
