MUSCAT, 25 April 2022, (TON): Oman's foreign ministry said “Oman facilitated the release of 14 foreigners, including a British national, who were held in Yemen and transferred them from the Houthi-controlled Yemeni capital Sanaa to Muscat.”
The ministry added “people freed included a British man, his wife and child, seven Indian nationals, a Filipino, an Indonesian, an Ethiopian and a Myanmar national.”
The British government identified the Briton as Luke Symons, saying he had been held without charge or trial since 2017.
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said in a statement "Luke was 25 when he was unlawfully detained by the Houthis. His son was only a few months old at the time.”
