Yemen’s Prime Minister Shaya al-Zindani has condemned the death of UN employee Mohammed Ibrahim al-Shami in Houthi detention after more than two years, stating he holds the Houthis fully responsible. Al-Zindani called for legal accountability for those responsible and urged the UN and international community to protect staff of international and humanitarian organizations, press for the release of all abducted, and end the siege of Taiz. UN human rights chief Volker Turk also expressed shock on Saturday and called for an immediate investigation.
