Washington accuses the militia of killing the UN employee and hiding his body

Sanaa, Yemen ·

The United States said the Houthis killed UN staff member Mohammed Ibrahim Mohammed al-Shami inside a Sanaa prison and concealed his body for months. The accusation drew international condemnation and calls to establish how he died and hold those responsible to account, amid concern for UN staff held by the group.

The Houthis have held several United Nations staff in Sanaa in recent years, and the UN has repeatedly called for their release.
