A Houthi-run court in Yemen has sentenced 13 people to public execution on homosexuality charges, a judicial source said Tuesday, as human rights groups decried a rise in abuses by the Iran-backed rebels.

The sentences were handed down in Ibb, a province controlled by the Houthis whose attacks on Red Sea shipping since November have prompted retaliatory strikes by the United States and Britain.

Three others were jailed on similar charges, according to the judicial source, who spoke to AFP on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the press.

Another 35 people have been detained by Houthis in Ibb province on homosexuality charges, the source said.

Videos shared with AFP, which could not be independently verified, showed a judge in a court reading out the death sentences on Sunday.

Progressives are such a cancer. They support these people, and ignore the barbarism.

“Progressives aren’t human. At all.”

If one expects some measure of civility and a decent standard of living, then coexisting with progressives is impossible.

If you’re willing to risk death because you want to get banged up your bung hole then I guess there are mental health problems.

They’ll likely pick U.S. cities with very tall buildings with flat roofs where they can install catapults.
