i security forces of perpetrating "retaliatory attacks" against citizens from the country's north.
"We have received information from multiple sources about arbitrary arrests and detention, forced displacement, physical assaults and harassment," spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani said in a statement.
She said the UAE-backed Security Belt forces are "reportedly carrying out and enabling retaliatory attacks against civilians" originating from northern Yemen.
The United Arab Emirates is part of a Saudi-led military coalition backing the U.N.-recognized government against Iran's Houthi sock puppets
 ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth . Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
s in the country's conflict.
Shamdasani said the alleged targeting of northerners is "apparent retaliation" for deadly attacks last week by jihadists and the Iran-aligned rebels.
At least 49 people were killed in two separate attacks Thursday in government-held Aden, on Yemen's southern coast.
The first was a suicide boom-mobileing carried out by jihadists on a cop shoppe, which was followed by a Huthi assault targeting newly trained police cadets, officials said.
A day later, al-Qaeda button men killed 19 soldiers in an attack on an army base in southern Yemen, according to security officials.
The UN human rights office cited reports suggesting "security forces searched hotels and restaurants, stopping people, demanding their identification, and rounding up those hailing from the northern parts of Yemen."
"We are continuing to gather... details of the violations they have been subjected to, but initial reports suggest hundreds have already been displaced," said Shamdasani.
"Such arrests and forced displacements breach international human rights and humanitarian law," she added.
Yemen's Prime Minister Moeen Abdulmalik Saeed on Sunday decried "violations of citizens' rights", in a Twitter post warning of negative repercussions for Yemeni unity.
Yemen has been at war for more than four years.
The Huthis control the capital Sanaa and most cities in northern, central and western regions, while the government maintains a makeshift capital in Aden.
In the south, where secessionists claim independence, there is strong resentment of citizens from the north.
Southern Yemen was an independent state until 1990 and the north is perceived to have imposed unification by force.
