What happened

Journalist Ibrahim Majthoob was abducted on Bayhan Street in Sanaa shortly before midnight on 6 July 2015. Hours later Houthi forces raided the home he shared with his brother, seized his laptop and detained the brother as well.

The brother was released after twenty days; the family heard from Ibrahim only in September. Amnesty International documented Political Security detention, solitary confinement and periods without family visits.
