Yemeni government demands independent investigation into death of UN employee in Houthi prisons

Yemen ·

Foreign Minister Afrah al-Zouba sent two letters, to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and to the president of the Security Council for November, about the death of Mohammed Ibrahim al-Shami, an employee of the UN human rights office in Yemen, while he was held by the Houthi movement.

The Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) controls Sanaa and much of northern Yemen, where UN staff have been among those detained in recent years.
