Some reports even stated that the militia have abducted teenagers from schools and Orphans House in Sana'a and engaged them battles.

The minister of Information said:" Such practices are in violations of the international laws which ensures human rights in war-times and peace. These illegal actions infringe all conventional norms and humanitarian principles".

Al-Irayani added:"Legal government has exclusively got the right to recruit young people into armed forces under the constitution and laws in effects". "Everybody should be careful, never join to the Houthi militia as such move is outlawed", warned the minister.

The minister of Information called on the international community and Human Rights organizations to condemn these illegal practices which constitute serious violations of human rights amount to war-crimes that perpetrators should be held accountable for.
