What happened
Houthi forces raided the al-Wasili family home in Ibb on 11 April 2015 looking for the father. When they did not find him, they took fourteen-year-old Anas and held him at the Criminal Investigation Department for a week.
Amnesty International documented his brother Osamah’s account among cases of relatives, including children, detained in place of wanted individuals, which it described as apparent hostage-taking.
