Women Journalists Without Chains (WJWC) on Monday condemned the kidnapping of Yusuf Ajlan, former editor of Al MASDAR-online news site, in front of his home in the capital Sana'a on October 15 by the militia of Houthi group and ousted President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
As WJWC calls for immediate release of the journalist, it reiterates its demand for the immediate release of all detained journalists in the prisons of the militias, who have been held for nearly a year and a half.
The organization calls on both local and global organizations concerned with freedom of opinion and expression to condemn the arrests waged by the militias against journalists as well as invites these organizations to exert pressure in order to release the detainees.
