Mansour Assamadi, an editor at the Houthi-controlled official newspaper of Al Thawrah, has reported he was subjected to threats from an unknown caller in the rebel-held capital Sanaa.
In a communication to the Yemeni Journalists Syndicate (YJS) and the attorney general, Assamadi explained on Wednesday he received, on Tuesday evening, death threats from an unknown person via the number (01,234,247).
Assamadi pointed out the caller spoke to him as though he was an investigator using the language of threats when saying “I will show you” and demanding him to write his will.
The journalist has held what he described as the de facto authorities – the militias of Houthis and ousted president Ali Saleh – responsible for his safety and the one’s of his family.
