Amnesty International: The Houthis must immediately release the UN staff

Amnesty International said that the de facto Houthi authorities must immediately release 13 United Nations employees and at least 14 workers in Yemeni and international civil society organizations who were kidnapped a month ago.
The organization indicated that the militia did not disclose to the families of the kidnapped people their place of detention, and they remain isolated from the outside world and deprived of their right to seek assistance from a lawyer or to contact their families.
She stressed the need for the Houthi militia to put an end to its ongoing repressive campaign, stressing that these kidnappings exacerbate the already dangerous and deteriorating humanitarian and human rights situation in Yemen.
This comes as the Houthi militia kidnapped an educator and an employee of the Dutch embassy after storming their home in Sanaa.
Sources reported that the militia kidnapped Ahmed Hussein Al-Nono, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Education for the Curriculum Sector in the Houthi government, which is not recognized internationally.
Sources revealed that the militia also kidnapped citizen Akram Al-Akhali, an employee of the Dutch embassy in Yemen, following a raid on his house on Iran Street in the Haddah area, and refuses to disclose the location and motives for his kidnapping?
For its part, a human rights organization confirmed that the Houthi militia’s continued policy of “spreading terror and fear” among citizens and its adoption of the espionage charge as a pretext for arrest and abuse is a fascist approach that reflects the militia’s culture of violence and brutality.
SAM Organization for Rights and Liberties considered the militia’s statements threatening to launch a campaign of kidnappings under the pretext of espionage, as falling within the “hate speech” it practices against Yemenis based on its literature and texts full of violence and intimidation.
