Title: Houthis Delay Release of 100 Detainees

The Houthi group announced today, Saturday, that it has "postponed the release of nearly 100 detainees from the Yemeni government forces, after previously declaring its intention to release them." A Houthi official stated that the delay is due to "technical reasons," adding that the release will take place at a later time. Abdul Qadir Al-Murtadha, head of the National Committee for Prisoners' Affairs affiliated with the Houthis, announced in a statement yesterday, Friday, that the group would release 100 detainees today as part of a "unilateral humanitarian initiative."
