Washington: Houthi detention of UN employees "an affront to diplomatic norms"

[13/06/2024 02:19]

WASHINGTON - SABA
US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller has expressed the United States' strong condemnation of the recent detention by Houthis of United Nations, diplomats and non-governmental organization staff.

"We also strongly condemn the Houthis’ efforts to spread disinformation regarding the role of detained current and former U.S. mission local staff through televised forced and fake ‘confessions.’ Yet again, the Houthis are seeking to use disinformation to shift blame to the United States and other outside actors for their own failures," said Miller.

The UN had said 11 of its employees were detained by the Houthis on Sunday.

"These Houthi actions reflect a blatant disregard for the dignity of the Yemeni people and individuals who – contrary to the Houthis’ lies – have dedicated themselves to their country’s betterment," Miller added.
