A Houthi-run court in Yemen has sentenced 13 people to public execution on homosexuality charges, a judicial source said Tuesday, as human rights groups decried a rise in abuses by the Iran-backed rebels.
The sentences were handed down in Ibb, a province controlled by the Houthis whose attacks on Red Sea shipping since November have prompted retaliatory strikes by the United States and Britain.
Three others were jailed on similar charges, according to the judicial source, who spoke to AFP on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the press.
Another 35 people have been detained by Houthis in Ibb province on homosexuality charges, the source said.
Hitler?
There’s a reason he took the coward’s way out. Would have been much better to have held him accountable until the day he dies.
This is true, but it also immediately ends the threat or risk of more damage by him. He can never have a prison break or be broken out of prison or anything because he is gone forever.
