Turkey has frozen the assets of three senior Yemeni Houthi Ansarullah leaders in line with U.N. Security Council sanctions against the revolutionaries, the Daily Sabah newspaper reported .
Turkey’s official gazette said on Thursday that sanctions had been imposed on Houthi leader Sayyed Abdulmalek al-Houthi and two military commanders Abd al-Khaliq al-Houthi and Abdullah Yahya al-Hakim.
Turkey’s Official Gazette also listed slain President Ali Abdullah Saleh and his son Ahmed Ali Abdullah Saleh, whose assets in Turkish banks and other financial institutions were already temporarily frozen more than two years ago.
The UN imposed sanctions in 2014 on the Houthi leadership and then Saleh, who was forced out of power in 2012 and blacklisted for obstructing peace by later backing the Shi’ite militia after it seized power in the Yemeni capital Sanaa.
The Houthi movement and the Saudi-backed resigned regime initially agreed a truce paving the way for negotiations to end the four-year war.
Some 10,000 Yemenis have been killed since the start of the war, which has led to what the U.N. calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
