联合国也门籍工作人员在胡塞拘押中死亡：人权高专要求独立调查并释放其余被拘人员
联合国人权事务高级专员 Volker Turk 于10月31日发表声明说，联合国人权事务高级专员办事处的一名也门籍工作人员 Mohammad el Shami 在被胡塞武装拘押期间死亡。他自2024年6月6日起被胡塞武装任意拘押，至今已逾两年。
Turk 说，死者家人近日才被告知其死讯，而死亡实际发生在一个多月前，家人没有得到任何关于死因或具体情形的说明。Turk 要求对这起死亡展开迅速、独立和彻底的调查，并要求立即、无条件释放所有仍被胡塞武装拘押的联合国人员，包括人权办的另外七名同事，以及被拘的人道工作者和社会成员。
也门总理谴责这起死亡，称胡塞武装负有全部责任，要求追究相关人员责任。他表示，目前仍有70多名联合国雇员和数十名人道工作者被拘押。
胡塞武装方面暂未就此置评。该组织此前称，被拘押者属于为美国和以色列工作的间谍网络，并指控人道组织以工作为掩护从事间谍活动，但未提供证据。
胡塞武装2014年夺取也门首都 Sanaa，沙特主导的军事干预于2015年介入，支持国际社会承认的也门政府。也门此后陷入分裂，胡塞武装控制 Sanaa 及北部、西北部大部地区，政府军控制南部和东部大部地区。（据路透社报道）
UN Yemeni Staff Member Dies in Houthi Custody: Rights Chief Demands Independent Investigation and Release of Others Held
A Yemeni staff member of the UN Human Rights Office, Mohammad el Shami, has died in Houthi custody after being arbitrarily detained for more than two years, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk said in a statement on October 31.
El Shami had been held by the Houthi militant group since June 6, 2024, Turk said. His family said they had been informed of his death only recently, more than a month after it occurred, and had received no explanation of the cause or circumstances.
Turk called for a prompt, independent and thorough investigation, and demanded the immediate and unconditional release of all other UN personnel held by the Houthis, including seven colleagues from his office, as well as humanitarian workers and civil society members.
Yemen's prime minister condemned the death, held the Houthis fully responsible and called for those responsible to be held accountable. He said more than 70 UN employees and dozens of humanitarian workers remained detained.
There was no immediate comment from the Houthis. The group has said those detained were part of a spy network working for the United States and Israel, and has accused humanitarian organisations of using their work as cover for intelligence activities, without providing evidence.
The Houthis seized the capital Sanaa in 2014, prompting a Saudi-led military intervention in 2015 in support of Yemen's internationally recognised government. The conflict has since divided the country, with the Houthis holding Sanaa and much of the north and northwest, while government-aligned forces control much of the south and east.
