A Yemeni activist revealed the presence of a number of supervisors affiliated with the Houthi group in more than 16 American states, who practice blackmail against Yemeni expatriates in the United States.

Media activist Ibrahim Asqin mentioned that among the Houthi supervisors is one called Ismail Al-Mutawakkil, “who manages the affairs of expatriates in America, and any expatriate who violates his orders, he directs a decree to the Houthi group in Yemen, to arrest the expatriate upon his return or visit to Yemen".

He pointed out that another Houthi supervisor called Abdul Wali Al-Radi, who is “the expatriate affairs representative in New York and others in 16 American states, practice the same activity as Al-Mutawakkil and are appointed to these positions by the Ibb Governorate’s agent for expatriate affairs, the Houthi leader Rakan Al-Naqeeb.”

He denounced the absence of the legitimate role of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Yemeni Embassy in what he described as “this farce.”

The activist attached in his post a document containing a directive from Al-Salali, “Ismail Al-Mutawakkil,” the Houthi supervisor in America, directing the security director of Ibb Governorate in the Houthi coup authority to arrest and imprison a Yemeni expatriate returning to the governorate, under the pretext of not handing over money for legal fees according to His claim.
