<p>The UK supports freedom of religious belief for all Yemenis. On 28 September the
UK voted for a resolution at the UN Human Rights Council that emphasised the international
community’s concern at the plight of the Baha’i and called for the immediate release
of all Baha’i detained due to their religious belief. The persecution of members of
the Baha’i community in areas of Yemen under Houthi control due to their religious
beliefs is a serious violation of international human rights law. New cases of arbitrary
detention and continuing reports of the abuse of detainees by the Houthis are deeply
concerning, and we wholly condemn this mistreatment. We have raised our concerns with
the Houthi authorities.</p>
