Yemeni army battles Houthis in Taiz with air support
Yemen’s military says it is engaged in fierce clashes with Houthi forces in Taiz, backed by airstrikes and local resistance, destroying vehicles and drones.
The Yemeni Minister of Human Rights, Mashdal Omar, has expressed concerns that UN employee Mohammed Ibrahim Al-Shami may have been tortured by Houthi militants prior to his death. The exact circumstances surrounding the UN staff member's demise remain enigmatic, according to Al Arabiya. Omar stated that the Houthi militia is actively obstructing any entity from disclosing their alleged violations.
The Yemeni government has recently attributed the death of Mohammed Ibrahim Al-Shami, a United Nations Office for the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) employee, to the Iran-backed Houthi militia. This determination came more than two years after Al-Shami was abducted and forcibly disappeared by the Houthis, during which his family was denied any form of visitation or communication.
The Ministry of Human Rights noted that the precise details of Al-Shami's demise remain undisclosed, and his remains have yet to be returned to his family.
