UN Security Council marks 2 years of Houthi detentions, demands immediate release of 73 UN staff

NEW YORK CITY: The UN Security Council on Friday condemned in the strongest terms the continuing detention of scores of humanitarian workers, UN personnel and civil society representatives by the Houthis in Yemen. It came as the second anniversary of mass arrests in June 2024 approaches with no resolution in sight. The 15-member body renewed its demand for the unconditional, safe and immediate release of all those held, including 73 UN personnel detained during several waves of arrests over the past four years, and expressed deep concern for their welfare.
