The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) has condemned the Imamite Houthi militias capturing 41 journalists at the headquarters of al-Yemen al-Yowm TV network in Sana'a.

"We condemn these actions, journalists should not be held hostage (...) it is a war crime," Ernest Sagaga, IFJ director for Human Rights and Security, told Sputnik.
