Houthis' key security unit
Over the past three years, the Houthis have established a new security apparatus known as the "Police Intelligence Department," which has become one of the most influential security agencies in their areas of control. Ali Houthi, the son of the group's founder, leads this agency, which was created as part of a power-sharing arrangement within the security system and to reduce the authority of the former Security and Intelligence Service. The department controls networks of detention and secret prisons, where detainees face widespread violations including arbitrary arrest, enforced disappearance, and torture. Hundreds are held in harsh conditions for years without fair trials. The agency also operates main detention centers such as "Huda Rehabilitation Center" and the Hobra prison, supported by an extensive security structure involved in raid operations and surveillance. Prominent leaders oversee arrest warrants and investigations, which often involve torture and harsh interrogation procedures.
