ADEN - SABA
The Ministry of Human Rights held the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist militias fully responsible for the death of Mohammed Ibrahim al-Shami, an employee of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, following his kidnapping, enforced disappearance, and death in their detention.

Minister of Human Rights Mashdel Omar explained in a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) that the announcement of al-Shami's death came today, more than two years after his kidnapping and enforced disappearance by the Houthi terrorist militias, during which his family was denied visits or any contact with him.

Omer confirmed that the circumstances of his death remain unknown, and his body has not yet been handed over to his family.

The Minister of Human Rights called for taking firmer and more effective steps to release all the abductees, uncover the circumstances of al-Shami's death, ensure the delivery of his body and hold those responsible accountable.
