The human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Tawakkol Karman has stressed that the Houthi militia’s courts are illegal, saying there is no difference between the Iran-backed militia’s courts and those of ISIL.

"There is no difference between the courts of the Islamic state, or the so-called Daesh, and the courts run by the Houthi militia," said Mrs. Karman on her official Facebook page.

She wondered how these courts are called upon to give fair trials while they are basically illegal entities.
