A youth-led campaign in three languages to demand the release of Bahah



A group of Yemeni activists and journalists launched a campaig to demand the release of the resigned Prime Minister Khalid Mahfoudh Bahah who had been under a houthi-imposed house arrest for over a month.

A statement issued by "for a safe Yemen" campaign strongly deplored the continued detention of PM Bahah by the houthi militia despite submission of his resignation a month ago and rejecting the caretaking capacity assigned by the revolutionary committee whicg was produced by the coup.

Yemeni youth activists are cirulating statements and hashtags to call for Bahah's release. Such calls were disseminated by the campaign in three languages (Arabic, English and French) across the social media websites- Facebook and Twitter.

"For a safe Yemen" is the firsf youth initiative to break the silence against the houthi militias by taking it to the streets since the morning of 28 September only a week after Sanaa's takeover. The campaign continues to organize protests and demonstrations against the houthi coup.

In a related issue, "No to the Coup" movement declared support for the campaign and willingness to organize a peaceful demonstration to call for the release of the Prime Minister who is detained by the Houthis.
