Yemen's Houthis Release 153 War Detainees in Sanaa in ICRC-Supported Humanitarian Initiative
Jan 25, 2025, 12:46 PM
Yemen's Houthi rebels have unilaterally released 153 war detainees in Sanaa, as announced by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The detainees, who had been visited by ICRC staff and received medical assistance, were freed as part of a humanitarian initiative aimed at building trust and easing tensions following the ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip. The release is seen as a positive step towards reviving negotiations in Yemen's ongoing conflict. However, this move comes amid recent detentions of seven United Nations workers by the Houthis, which has sparked international concern.
