Freedom of media and expression has seen setbacks in Yemen after the Houthi militants ousted the government and expanded by force in most of the country's cities, the economic studies and media center said in a recent report.
The abuses included physical assaults, arrests, raids on media organizations and confiscation of properties of organizations, it said, adding that the victims included social media activists.
During June and July, around 87 attacks on the press were documented and, since the Houthis took power early this year, around 350 journalists have lost their jobs mostly because of shutting down and storming their organizations, it said.
International organizations have lately warned of attacks on freedoms and the press in Yemen where the months-long armed conflict has left 80% of the total population in need of emergency aid.
2014 was the worst year for the press as the Freedom Foundation documented hundreds of abuses including killings of reporters in the country.
