What happened

Khitam al-Ashari died on 24 December 2020 after an assault during a raid on her home in al-Udayn. Yemen Shabab Net cited her father describing Houthi gunmen searching for her husband and assaulting her and her four children; her brother called for protection of the investigation and medical evidence.
