And he said Grundberg During his briefing before the UN Security Council meeting, “The Houthi group continues to arbitrarily detain United Nations employees, civil society workers, and members of diplomatic missions, and the recent referral of some of them to so-called criminal prosecution represents an additional blow to our collective efforts to build peace and stability in Yemen.”
The UN envoy indicated that these arrests, which are carried out on vague charges and in the absence of fair legal procedures, aim to discredit humanitarian workers and create an environment of fear, which hinders humanitarian relief efforts and social cohesion. He stressed that these workers play a crucial role in meeting urgent humanitarian needs and deserve strong protection and international support.
Grundberg called The Houthis To immediately and unconditionally release all those arbitrarily detained, including 17 United Nations employees, and stop the campaign of arrests that affect the course of the political settlement and peace in Yemen.
He said that repeated attacks on international shipping by the Houthis have “significantly increased the risk of an environmental catastrophe” in the Red Sea.
