On the third anniversary of the violent crackdown on the "Saffron Revolution", the authorities continue to hold over 2,200 people arrested for their peaceful activism.

Amnesty International's Secretary General says it is unacceptable that world leaders have still not agreed to address discrimination and other human rights violations against those most vulnerable.

According to reports, more than 12,000 people have been displaced by fighting in the southern region of Shabwa and are yet to receive humanitarian aid.
