A joint statement from Justice4Yemen and Yemeni civil society organizations exposes a grave crisis: the systematic repression of human rights defenders and journalists in Yemen. Authorities in both Aden and Sana’a are exploiting the judiciary to silence dissent, using fabricated charges, unfair trials, and targeted attacks against individuals such as Yasser Al-Maliki to suppress human rights advocacy and the pursuit of justice for victims.

The international community’s support for Yemeni civil society is urgently needed to uphold human rights and promote justice in Yemen.
