Yemen

Alkarama, along with 39 regional and local organizations concerned with freedom of opinion, expression and human rights, called on all parties to the conflict in Yemen to respect freedom of the press and to immediately and unconditionally release journalists detained for their media activities, whether in Houthi prisons, Yemeni government prisons, or al-Qaeda prisons. 

Alkarama condemns the bombing of a number of civilian homes by gunmen from the Houthi group, which calls itself "Ansar Allah", on Tuesday morning, March 19, 2024, killing and wounding at least 25 civilians, including women and children, and calls for an end to using this method as part of the tools of war. 

Every year, December 10th serves as a global reminder of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights—a benchmark that delineates the rights and freedoms owed to every individual as a human being in our world. On this International Human Rights Day, marked as the first global proclamation criminalizing all violations against civilians, the emphasis is placed on preserving their dignity and upholding their rights, as articulated in Article 3 of the Declaration “Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of person”.
