Hajjah Women celebrate al-Wilayah day, affirm solidarity with Gaza
Hajjah Women's Committee organized on Saturday celebrations in 10 squares to commemorate al-Wilayah Day of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) and express solidarity with Gaza.
Participants renewed allegiance to Imam Ali, emphasizing that al-Wilayah is a mobilizing, educational, and faith-based event.
The participants asserted that the nation's current humiliation stems from aligning with enemies of Islam, the Jews and Christians, and linked the aggression against Yemen to its adherence to the Prophet's family and support for the oppressed.
A statement from activists highlighted that the principle of guardianship preserves the nation's dignity, condemning Zionist aggression against Iran and the silence of Arab and international regimes on Gaza.
The statement reiterated condolences to Iran, affirmed rejection of Israeli aggression against Yemen, and renewed allegiance to the Leader of the Revolution, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, pledging continued support for Palestine and calling for an economic boycott.

Yemeni killed while fighting alongside Russian forces in Ukraine
A Yemeni man in his twenties has been killed while fighting alongside Russian forces in Ukraine, according to local sources. The sources, who wished to remain anonymous, told The New Arab's sister site Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that the Issam Ali al-Mashouli, from Al Wazi'iyah district in Taiz governorate, was killed while serving with Russian forces in Ukraine. They added that al-Mashouli previously served with Yemeni forces stationed along the Yemeni-Saudi border, before he was recruited by Houthi middlemen active in enlisting Yemenis to fight on behalf of Russian forces. In March this year, the US Treasury Department uncovered a human trafficking operation carried out by Houthi-linked groups who recruited Yemeni civilians under false pretences to fight alongside Russia's forces in Ukraine. This scheme was reportedly carried out through the Al-Jabri General Trading And Investment Company, and provided the Houthis with additional funds for their military operations. Last November, investigative researcher Lou Osborne from the Swiss organisation Impact, revealed that contracts between Houthi mercenaries and the Russian army were being arranged through a company based in Oman, connected to pro-Houthi Yemeni parliamentarian and businessman Abdulwali Abdoh Hasan Al-Jabri. Osborne said that Jabri was 'involved in arms trading between Russia and the Houthis,' and pointed out that some fighters were being recruited in the Jordanian capital Amman 'while working in restaurants', despite lacking any real military experience. According to Osborne, potential Yemeni recruits were being lured with promises of earning $10,000 upfront and $2,500 monthly, but upon their entry into the Russian army were paid only around $260 a month. She put their number at several hundred. The deaths of a number of Yemenis fighting alongside Russian forces have been reported, with a number of young Yemenis inside Russia - mostly students - being recruited to join the army, in addition to those brought from Yemen through recruitment companies led by Jabri. Yemenis who have died fighting with Russian forces in Ukraine include former diplomat Ahmed al-Sahmi in 2023 and student Asaad al-Kanani in 2024. Sahmi had served as a diplomat at Yemen's embassy in Moscow until 2017, before marrying a Russian woman, obtaining citizenship, and signing a contract with a Russian military company. Kanani, from Taiz governorate, was killed on the Luhansk front in eastern Ukraine after joining the Russian military campaign after gaining citizenship. The first reported Yemeni casualty was Zubair Mohammed Ziyad from Ibb governorate in late 2023. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, many Yemenis who obtained Russian citizenship have been pressed into military service. While some have managed to leave Russia after being called up for military training ahead of deployment to Ukraine, others who remained in Russia have been drafted into the Russian forces and forced onto the front lines.

Yemen authorities arrest journalist Hamoud Hazz'a on unknown charges in Marib
The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns the August 16 arrest of Yemen News Agency journalist Hamoud Hazz'a after security forces raided his home in Al-Jufaina camp, Marib Governorate, confiscated his mobile phone and laptop, and took him to an undisclosed location without legal justification. Before his arrest, Hazz'a warned in an August 16 Facebook post that security personnel were stationed outside his home. He later posted that the Fourth Security Zone force had broken down his door, frightening his family. Hazz'a was later transferred from political security detention to military prosecution and brought before military courts. Authorities cited his registration in the Department of Defense as reason for his arrest, National Organization of Yemeni Reporters CEO Yousef Hazeb told CPJ via messaging app. A security official also told local media that Hazz'a's status as a second lieutenant in the National Defense Service Department of the Yemeni Armed Forces prompted the transfer. 'Hazz'a's case shows how press freedom is deteriorating in areas controlled by the internationally recognized government,' said CPJ Regional Director Sara Qudah. 'The exploitation of his honorary military status to justify military court proceedings is clearly an attempt to silence him. He should be released immediately.' The Yemeni Journalists' Syndicate noted that displaced journalists who escaped Houthi-controlled areas are often assigned honorary military ranks or benefits in exchange for media work. The syndicate called on authorities to stop exploiting journalists' circumstances and to respect freedom of expression. Hazz'a has previously informed several press freedom organizations, including the Yemen News Agency, that he has faced online threats and incitement due to his social media commentary on Marib's local government.
