LONDON, 05 May 2022, (TON): UNESCO and the UN Human Rights Council called for the Houthis to release two of their staff members.
The two organizations said “as families across Yemen gather to mark Eid Al-Fitr this year, UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay and UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet urge the immediate release of two of their staff members who have been detained since early November last year in Sana'a.”
It added “despite repeated assurances, as early as last November, by the Ansar Allah movement (also called the Houthis) that the two staff members would be immediately released, their whereabouts remain unknown.”
UNESCO and the UN Human Rights Office said “they were both deeply concerned about the well-being of the staff members.”
