<p>The UK strongly condemns the mistreatment of Baha’is who are being persecuted for
their religious beliefs in areas under the control of the Houthis. We are working
closely with our partners to raise these concerns directly with the Houthi authorities
and urge the release of detained individuals. We continue to call on the parties to
the conflict for the human rights of all Yemenis to be respected.</p><p>I raised the
religious persecution of the Baha’i community in my statement of 22 October on human
rights. We continue to follow the treatment of the Baha’is in Yemen closely, including
through meeting their representatives in the UK and lobbying the relevant authorities.</p>
