The government team renewed its call on the UN envoy and the international community to reveal the fate of those who were forcibly disappeared, led by the politician Muhammad Qahtan, and to allow his family to visit him, and to drop all death orders it issued against the kidnapped persons, whether those in its detention centers or the freed persons against whom death orders were issued after their release.
