The government had set up a panel to interrogate the accused perpetrator, the Center's director, and carry out a thorough investigation into the violation claims reported by Human Rights Watch.

The ministry stressed the government's keenness to continue its contacts with international organizations to ensure that there are no violations of human rights on the Yemeni territory. It pointed out that Human Rights Watch has been informed of the measures taken in that claim and the mechanisms set to guarantee the non-recurrence of such violations, if proven to have been committed .
