A/HRC/36/33 community event on youth development. Around 20 of those detained were followers of the Baha’i faith, including Iranian and Iraqi citizens. The civilians were never charged and most were released within one week. Two men, who had come to seek the release of their wives, were detained and held for months. One of them, who was born in the Islamic Republic of Iran and raised in Yemen, remained in detention at the time of drafting this report. 23. On 22 October 2016, in Haqib village, Damt district, Al-Dhale’e Governorate, 40 civilian men were detained by Houthi/Saleh forces. Witnesses told OHCHR that the forces conducted house-to-house searches and aggressive raids, and arrested civilians perceived as sympathizers of the pro-Government forces. The detainees were transferred to various unofficial or secret detention facilities in Ibb, Dhamar and Sana’a governorates; they were released after several days without charge. During their detention, their families did not know their whereabouts and were not able to visit or communicate with them. 24. On 4 December 2016, in Teiab village, Dhi Na’im district, Al-Bayda Governorate, Houthi/Saleh forces detained 61 civilians, including 19 boys. Sixty armed men, accompanied by armoured vehicles and a tank, conducted the operation on the main road, stopping and searching several vehicles passing the checkpoint. The arrested civilians were transferred to a secret prison. The mass arrest came after an attack by pro-Government forces on Houthi/Saleh military positions in the area, the day before. Reportedly, Houthi/Saleh forces accused local tribes in the area of failing to protect their military positions during the attack. During the detention, the families of the civilians were not able to visit or communicate with them. They were all released without charge — most of them on the same day — and 12 were released after several days. 25. On 11 February 2017, in Al-Rameid IDP camp, Al-Udayn district, Ibb Governorate, 82 civilians, including 7 boys, were detained by Houthi/Saleh forces. Armed men raided the homes in the middle of the night while the families were sleeping, causing severe panic among the women and children in the camp. The mass arrest followed the ambush and assassination of a Houthi military leader that morning, 10 kilometres from the camp. The civilians were transported to an unrecognized place of detention, where they were held — 40 detainees in a single cell. Their families had no access to them during their detention. They were released the following day without charge. 21
