ADEN-SABA
Prime Minister Ahmed bin-Daghr has given a phone call to the relatives of a number of persons who are in custody of the Saleh-Houthi coup militias, on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr festivity to give them good wishes and comfort.

Bin-Daghr phone called the family of Maj. Gen. Mahmoud Assobeihi, minister of defense and generals Nasser Mansour Hadi and Faysal Rajab.

The Premier affirmed that the Government is continuously following up their case and the case of all abductees and detainees in the jails of the radical militias to secure their release.

He said the government is in continuous and intensive contact with the UN and international organizations on the detainees' release which the militias refuse despite being part of the requirements of the UN resolution 2216 on Yemen.

The government will seek to free all detainees in the militias' jails including journalists whom the militia tried in their illegal courts and handed them sentences, some of them to death.
