Title: Extensive Arrest Campaign Against UN Employees in Yemen

After the United Nations confirmed the detention of 11 of its employees in Yemen by "Ansar Allah," Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for the release of all employees. Guterres warned that the arrest of UN staff is "concerning and raises fears about the Houthis' commitment to resolving the conflict in Yemen." Last Friday, a responsible media source in the UN Coordination Office in Yemen confirmed that the Houthis are conducting an extensive campaign of arrests against employees of UN organizations and international and local organizations in the Houthi-controlled provinces of Sana'a and Hodeidah. The source stated that several employees of the UN and other organizations have been abducted by "Ansar Allah" since last Thursday, including male and female Yemeni employees, according to the "Arab World News Agency." The source added that UN staff have been subjected to abduction operations for days, but the Houthi pursuit of employees has intensified since last Thursday.
