Claim
he was tortured while held by the Houthis and spent time hiding in a mortuary before escaping to Germany
Attributed to Ezzadin Al Awadhi on The Jerusalem Post interview
Evidence
A web search found the Jerusalem Post interview itself (jpost.com, article-914326). Its headline and text match the claim: Awadhi, a Yemeni aid worker formerly held by the Houthis, now lives in Germany and recounts torture and hiding in a mortuary. I found no independent corroboration from other outlets or human rights groups. I also found no Reuters, AFP, Bellingcat or EUvsDisinfo fact-check of this claim. I did not search further for rights-group reports.

Assessment
The claim is accurately attributed to the Jerusalem Post interview, but it is a single first-person account. I found no independent corroboration and no fact-check, so the underlying events remain unverified.
Confidence
Little or no independent corroboration was found - this reflects the current state of public evidence, not a guess.
