Three Yemeni YouTubers appeared in a Houthi rebel court Wednesday accused of spreading misinformation and inciting “chaos,” according to court documents.

The three, including Mustafa al-Mawmari, who has more than 2 million followers, were detained in Sanaa in December after they published videos critical of Iran-backed rebels who seized the capital in 2014.

Ahmed Hajjar, who has more than 243,000 subscribers, and Ahmed Elav, with 800,000, also appeared before the court.
