Houthi defacto authority in Yemeni capital should return the passport of Mwatana's executive director-Abdulrasheed al-Faqih whom it has intercepted and confiscated his passport last Friday March 4, 2016, in Sana'a International airport, Mwatana Organization for Human Rights said today.
Mwatana condemned the arbitrary temporary detention and investigation Al-Faqih was subjected to upon his return from Jordanian capital, Amman, where he was , among other international CSOs, participating in an international conference in solidarity with Yemeni journalists organized by International Federation of Journalists and Yemeni Journalists Syndicates.
Mwatana stated that what happened to Al-Faqih comes within a series of procedures against freedoms in general including systematic increasing harasses against Mwatana organization in particular.
It called upon Houthi defacto authorities to stop harassing civic and political freedoms and refrain from flouting international Humanitarian law and international law of Human rights.
Mwatana insisted that all annoying behaviors of targeting its work and staff can not prevent it from continuing its mission of defending human rights, monitoring, documenting human rights violations in Yemen standing up to the voices of victims and lifting up their cause.
