Houthi gunmen staged a violent raid on a peaceful gathering of Baha’is in Sana’a, Yemen, on May 25th, detaining at least 17 people including five women.  Among those affected by the arrests was a toddler, both of whose parents were taken away, and who is now bereft of them without any end in sight.

The raid was caught on video
