TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Yemeni people attended nationwide rallies to voice support for a constitutional declaration issued by the Houthi Ansarullah movement.

The Friday mass rallies were held in different regions, including Sa’dah, Hadida and capital Sana’a, according to Almasirah TV.

Demonstrators also voiced opposition to the US and Saudi interference in the internal affairs of their country.

On February 6, the Houthis released a constitutional declaration on the Transitional National Council, stressing that the movement will continue fighting corruption and try to improve the living conditions of Yemeni people.

The Houthi movement played a key role in the 2011 uprising that forced the country’s dictator, Ali Abdullah Saleh, to quit after 33 years in power.
