Houthi Rebels Release 30 Prisoners
Well that’s good, they need to uphold their end of the bargain and they should have released the prisoners months ago. The regime should release their prisoners as well.
New Yemen: Leader of rebels in Sa’ada Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has released 30 policemen held in custody during conflict between the government forces and al-Houthi’s supporters early in 2008.
The hostages have been extradited to a mediation committee which is following up a peace deal between the government and al-Houthi, local sources told NY.
The media office of al-Houthi reported the release and said it was a step to prove “good will” of al-Houthis to put an end for conflict. The office called upon the government to take a similar step and release all imprisoned al-Houthis.
The release could not confidently be confirmed.
