He said: "Dozens of reporters, cameramen and correspondents were killed and injured by the Saleh-Houthi militias during coverage of events. Dozens others were subjected to kidnapping attempts and to threats.

Media institutions headquarters and offices were stormed and plundered."
He said that the militias seized all media outlets in that year to the point of leaving nothing for the government to defend the people, which prompted the government to ask for Saudi assistance in restarting a national media.
