Levi Salem Musa Marhabi (Arabic: ليفي سالم موسى مرحبي, born c. 1987) is a Yemenite Orthodox Jew and one of the last Jews living in Yemen. He was imprisoned by Houthi militants in 2016 for allegedly assisting in smuggling a Torah scroll out of the country. Held in a prison in Sanaa, Marhabi has received harsh treatment from his detainers, with an emergence of reports of torture and deteriorating health conditions. In 2019, a Yemeni court ordered his release; however, the Houthis continued to detain him.
