Yemen ·

Yemeni journalist Abdulrahman Anis reported new developments in the case of Mohammed Qahtan, a Yemeni politician described as abducted. He said a British laboratory had completed DNA tests on samples taken from a body attributed to him and sent the results to the government and Houthi delegations.

Mohammed Qahtan is a Yemeni politician whose case has been a long-running issue between Yemen's government and the Houthi movement (Ansar Allah), which controls Sanaa and much of the north. Detainee files have been a recurring issue in UN-backed talks between the two sides.
