UN demands Houthis return body of human rights office worker who died in their custody

Yemen ·

UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric urged the Houthis to hand the body of Mohammed El-Shami, a Yemeni employee of the UN human rights office, to his family without further delay so he could receive a dignified burial. He said nothing could justify withholding the remains. El-Shami died while detained by the militia.

The Houthis (Ansar Allah) are a movement that controls Sanaa and much of northern Yemen, where UN agencies operate amid a long-running conflict between the Houthis and the internationally recognised government.
