SANAA - Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi group on Monday released hundreds of Yemeni prisoners in a unilateral move the United Nations hoped would help revive a stalled peace process.
Dozens of men in clean, new, white clothing walked out of the prison and lined up outside, supervised by men in military uniforms. The Houthis said on Monday they were releasing “350 prisoners and detainees” from the list prepared for the deal under the supervision of the United Nations. Those released included three Saudis, the Houthis said.
Fabrizio Carboni, ICRC Director for Near and Middle East, said in a statement: “The humanitarian situation in Yemen is catastrophic and any momentum towards easing the hardship is a positive development.”
