On August 10, armed soldiers raided a multi-day youth event and arrested and detained 60 men, women and children. The event was organized by the Yemeni Baha’i community and sponsored by the Nida Foundation for Human Development, and was held at the Jud Organization building in Sana’a. It featured a nonreligious, nonpolitical program focused on moral and educational efforts to serve the Yemeni community. Roughly half of the attendees were Baha’is.
