Prisoners’ Affairs Committee Demands UN Envoy to Pressure US-Saudi Party to Abide by Agreement 

News - Yemen: The head of the National  met, Monday evening, with the UN Special Envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, to discuss the prisoners’ situation and ways to advance the issue.

In the meeting, AbdulQadir Al-Murtada, mentioned the recent agreement that was made regarding prisoners' issues under the auspices of the United Nations.

Al-Murtada confirmed the keenness of the National Committee for Prisoners' Affairs and its readiness to implement the agreement, calling on the UN envoy to pressure the US-Saudi party to abide by the agreement and implement it.

In March, The head of the prisoners’ committee in Sana’a, Abdulqadir Al-Murtadha, announced Saudi failure to submit the prisoner exchange lists to the United Nations.

"We were scheduled to submit the prisoner exchange lists today, and informed the UN of our readiness, but unfortunately we were informed that the Saudi side is not ready," he said.

Al-Murtadha indicated that the US-Saudi aggression requested a week, and expressed his hope that the prisoner exchange agreement would be adhered to as it is.

The head of the prisoners’ committee had announced the agreement with the US-Saudi aggression on a prisoner exchange deal through the UN to release 2,223 prisoners, and it was scheduled to exchange lists of prisoners’ names today.

He also indicated that the prisoner exchange process will include the brother of Abdrabbu Hadi, explaining that the process came within the framework of the Sweden agreement, which is interim, and represents the second stage.

Saudi Arabia, backed by the United States and regional allies, launched the war on Yemen in March 2015, claiming the goal of bringing the government of former Yemeni president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi back to power.

The US-Saudi aggression continues to target neighborhoods and populated areas and destroy the infrastructure and capabilities of the country, in light of a suspicious international silence.

The war has left hundreds of thousands of Yemenis dead and displaced millions more. It has also destroyed Yemen’s infrastructure and spread famine and infectious diseases there.
