胡塞武裝在也門公開處決同性戀者，國際特赦組織譴責此行為

In Yemen, a Houthi-controlled court recently sentenced nine people to death for homosexuality, seven of whom will face stoning and two will be crucified. This news has caused widespread international concern and condemnation. Amnesty International has stated that these actions are spreading fear of the LGBTQ+ community and the Yemeni public at large.

據報導，這些判決是在也門達馬爾的胡塞武裝法庭作出的，另外還有二十三人因同性戀、「散播不道德行為」和「不道德行為」等多項罪名被判處六個月至十年監禁。社交媒體上流傳的視頻顯示，有兩人在公共場合被鞭打，這可能發生在他們的家門前。

此外，也門伊布的胡塞武裝法庭以「傳播同性戀」為由判處13名學生死刑，另外三名學生被判處鞭刑。消息人士稱，還有35人因同性戀指控被拘留。

Two courts run by the Houthi movement have sentenced more than 40 men. The regime has been attacking ships in the Red Sea since November and has been subjected to retaliatory strikes by the United States and Britain. Yemen sits on the southeastern edge of the Red Sea, and the Iranian-backed Houthi movement controls the desert nation's most populous region and has been engaged in a long-running war with a coalition led by Yemen's northern neighbor, Saudi Arabia.

Grazia Careccia, Amnesty International's deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa, called the planned executions a "horrific public spectacle" designed to spread fear among LGBTQ+ people and Yemenis in general. She described all the sentences as "very distressing".

In a statement, Carrecia said, "Public flogging is a cruel and inhumane punishment that violates the absolute prohibition of torture and other ill-treatment under international law and should not be practiced under any circumstances." She added: "The authorities must immediately and unconditionally release all those detained solely on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity."

Niku Jafarnia, a Yemeni researcher at Human Rights Watch, told AFP, "The Houthis have stepped up their atrocities inside the country, while the world is watching their attacks in the Red Sea." Jafarnia added: "If they really cared about the Palestinian rights they claim to defend, they wouldn't be flogging and stoning Yemenis to death."

These events highlight the extreme dangers and challenges faced by sexual minorities in war and conflict. The international community is calling for immediate action to protect these innocent people from further persecution and violence.
